“You're shagging a woman who can turn into a dragon? Blast you, Charles, I am sick with envy!”
― Jeaniene Frost, quote from One Grave at a Time
“Your mum pounced on her and started sucking away. Would’ve been arousing if not for all the screaming.”
“Ian,” Bones drew out warningly.
He grinned. “You’re right. I was aroused anyway.”
― Jeaniene Frost, quote from One Grave at a Time
“Since you and Crispin are now finished and I have a few hours to kill, how about that shag?” he asked with heavy irony.
“Bite me,” I sighed, gathering up the pages.
He winked. “Of course. My second-favorite thing to do in bed.”
― Jeaniene Frost, quote from One Grave at a Time
“That face. That body. And you know he’s packing. Look at the angle on that dangle.”
― Jeaniene Frost, quote from One Grave at a Time
“There were words for what he meant to me, but if I studied every language ever spoken for the next thousand years, I still wouldn’t find enough of them to describe it.”
― Jeaniene Frost, quote from One Grave at a Time
“I couldn't help shaking my head as I looked at him. Ian slept like a baby every morning - well, a baby who continually kept one hand down his pants.”
― Jeaniene Frost, quote from One Grave at a Time
“Swear, that woman’s got a mouth on her worse than you do,” Tyler commented, following in after Bones. “Ian gave her the tiniest smack on the rear when she walked by, and she told him to—”
“Ian smacked my mother on the ass?” I cut him off. At Tyler’s nod, I stopped lighting sage and grabbed a silver knife, feeling my fangs pop out of their own accord. “Wait here, I’ll be right back.”
― Jeaniene Frost, quote from One Grave at a Time
“Think anything like that at her again, and I'll kill you here and now."
Madigan's scoff was uneasy. "Any attack on me -"
"Is the same as an attack on the United States itself," Bones finished, still in that deadly calm manner. "Heard you the first time - and didn't give a shite then, either.”
― Jeaniene Frost, quote from One Grave at a Time
“The last thing that you need to fret about is my feeling emasculated, Kitten; but talk is cheap, so I'll be sure to show you later." ~Bones”
― Jeaniene Frost, quote from One Grave at a Time
“Will the real Red Reaper please stand up?”
― Jeaniene Frost, quote from One Grave at a Time
“That’s right, honey, state your claim on Mr. Yummy Pants. I’d do the same if I were you.”
A grin ticked at my mouth. I swept my gaze over the muscled roundness of Bones’s ass, which his black jeans only highlighted. Then I gazed at the snug fit of the front that had nothing to do with the cut of the denim. Finally, I met Tyler’s chocolate-colored eyes and winked back.”
― Jeaniene Frost, quote from One Grave at a Time
“Just call me an equal opportunity ass-kicker.”
― Jeaniene Frost, quote from One Grave at a Time
“Brilliant landing.. We´re trying to keep a low profile, and here you´ve gone and made it look like a meteorite hit.”
― Jeaniene Frost, quote from One Grave at a Time
“Sorry. My friends didn't mention certain....details about you and you just wouldn't believe how nutty some people are. Just last week, I had a woman convinced her trailer was haunted by Tupac, as if he'd want to spend eternity in a double wide that smelled like cat piss.”
― Jeaniene Frost, quote from One Grave at a Time
“You messed with the wrong white girl, motherfucker!” Tyler shouted.”
― Jeaniene Frost, quote from One Grave at a Time
“Bitch, you are SO lucky you didn’t try to eat my dog.”
― Jeaniene Frost, quote from One Grave at a Time
“I’ve watched you barely escape death several times, and each instance killed me a little inside. They may be dormant now, but we have enemies both cunning and cruel. Knowing you possess the power to defeat most of them doesn’t threaten me, luv. It relieves me to my very core.”
― Jeaniene Frost, quote from One Grave at a Time
“I thought Bones looked like a little slice of heaven, but you're the whole cake, aren't you, sugar?”
― Jeaniene Frost, quote from One Grave at a Time
“Family. If one member wasn't being a pain in the ass, another one would be guaranteed to fill the slot”
― Jeaniene Frost, quote from One Grave at a Time
“Door. Fucker hit me with the bedroom door!”
― Jeaniene Frost, quote from One Grave at a Time
“He also deeply distrusts vampires, as you had guessed yourself,” Bones added. “Aside from that, all I heard was enough repetitions of ‘how many chucks could a woodchuck chuck’ to make me want to stake myself.”
― Jeaniene Frost, quote from One Grave at a Time
“Before we met, I'd fly for hours to clear my head," Bones said, his voice reaching me even over the rush of wind.
"It was the closest I came to finding peace, but though several of my mates could fly, I always went alone. I never wanted to share this with anyone until you.”
― Jeaniene Frost, quote from One Grave at a Time
“It was official. I now wanted to murder a ghost, a notion I'd discarded as unlikely only twenty minutes before. (Cat)”
― Jeaniene Frost, quote from One Grave at a Time
“This isn’t the first time I’ve faced death, and I don’t intend for it to be the last,” I said, repeating the same words he’d told me before fighting in that fateful duel. “I’ve chosen to live a dangerous life, but it’s who I am, and that wouldn’t change even if we’d never met.”
― Jeaniene Frost, quote from One Grave at a Time
“Tell me, Kitten.” That deep, smooth voice brushed over me like a physical caress. “Shall I leave now, or wait until later?”
― Jeaniene Frost, quote from One Grave at a Time
“Isn’t he gorgeous?” With those rolls, the wet-sounding grunts, bulbous wiggly tail, and smashed face—not to mention the fart the dog let out once he situated himself—he was gorgeous in a way that only a parent could appreciate.”
― Jeaniene Frost, quote from One Grave at a Time
“The sheer splendor of the sight made my chest tighten and tears sting my eyes. All the darkness lately made it easy to forget the world contained more than people trying to hurt other people. It had beauty, too, if you knew where to look--and remembered to open your eyes.”
― Jeaniene Frost, quote from One Grave at a Time
“She might not know what your routine is, but I do,” I said softly. “So put the lantern down. You’re not burning me yet, and we both know it.”
“What’s she saying?” Sarah demanded, hobbling over. His white brows drew together, and I allowed a little smile to play on my lips. “Awfully bossy with you, isn’t she? Then again, it makes sense. She’s got the pants on, and you’re the one in the dress.”
― Jeaniene Frost, quote from One Grave at a Time
“I needed his attitude like I needed an extra pair of tits on my ass.”
― Jeaniene Frost, quote from One Grave at a Time
“Christ, Reaper, with your bald head and all that soot, you look like a mannequin someone attacked with a blowtorch”

“The choir sang and the old man sang and Drake couldn't sing, and suddenly he began to cry because of the music, because of the sound of the boys' voices, because of what they might turn into.”
― Sarah Winman, quote from A Year of Marvellous Ways
“More than a thousand years before Christ, Zarathustra preached the existence of a heaven and a hell, the idea of a bodily resurrection, the promise of a universal savior who would one day be miraculously born to a young maiden, and the expectation of a final cosmic battle that would take place at the end of time between the angelic forces of good and the demonic forces of evil.”
― Reza Aslan, quote from No god but God: The Origins, Evolution and Future of Islam
“I liked it all, but most of all I liked the fact that although the play was entirely focused on Quintana there were, five evenings and two afternoons a week, these ninety full minutes, the run time of the play, during which she did not need to be dead.
During which the question remained open.
During which the denouement had yet to play out.
During which the last scene played did not necessarily need to be played in the ICU overlooking the East River.
During which the bells would not necessarily sound and the doors would not necessarily be locked at six.
During which the last dialogue heard did not necessarily need to concern the vent.
Like when someone dies, don't dwell on it.”
― Joan Didion, quote from Blue Nights
“The only sustenance that matters is the love in my dog’s eyes and the hope of meeting people who dare to truly live.”

Imagine: How Creativ...BookQuoters is a community of passionate readers who enjoy sharing the most meaningful, memorable and interesting quotes from great books. As the world communicates more and more via texts, memes and sound bytes, short but profound quotes from books have become more relevant and important. For some of us a quote becomes a mantra, a goal or a philosophy by which we live. For all of us, quotes are a great way to remember a book and to carry with us the author’s best ideas.
We thoughtfully gather quotes from our favorite books, both classic and current, and choose the ones that are most thought-provoking. Each quote represents a book that is interesting, well written and has potential to enhance the reader’s life. We also accept submissions from our visitors and will select the quotes we feel are most appealing to the BookQuoters community.
Founded in 2023, BookQuoters has quickly become a large and vibrant community of people who share an affinity for books. Books are seen by some as a throwback to a previous world; conversely, gleaning the main ideas of a book via a quote or a quick summary is typical of the Information Age but is a habit disdained by some diehard readers. We feel that we have the best of both worlds at BookQuoters; we read books cover-to-cover but offer you some of the highlights. We hope you’ll join us.
