“If this were a fairy tale, I'd be my own damned knight.”
― Sally Slater, quote from Paladin
“Sometimes doing the immoral thing is the moral thing to do. I would lie and cheat and steal to protect the ones I love.”
― Sally Slater, quote from Paladin
“Sam, his warrior. He would die before he put her fire out.”
― Sally Slater, quote from Paladin
“Sam’s lingering stares agitated him, eliciting a thickness in his chest that felt suspiciously like feelings. Tristan didn’t do feelings.”
― Sally Slater, quote from Paladin
“You best have dagger hidden underneath those skirts.”
Sam patted the small lump on the right side of her hip,the bulge on her left,and then felt for a ridge by her ankles.
She had three.”
― Sally Slater, quote from Paladin
“Braeden was a noble, self-sacrificing idiot, but he was her idiot.”
― Sally Slater, quote from Paladin
“He didn’t have time for an existential crisis, not right now.”
― Sally Slater, quote from Paladin
“their long snouts. “There’s no plan?” “Don’t die,” Tristan said, and with a yell, sprinted into the throng of demons.”
― Sally Slater, quote from Paladin
“Braeden?” she called again tentatively. Braeden turned to her and smiled, a feral grin that spoke of cruelty to come. Sam swallowed. She was as good as dead.”
― Sally Slater, quote from Paladin

― Sally Slater, quote from Paladin
“suspiciously like feelings. Tristan didn’t do feelings.”
― Sally Slater, quote from Paladin
“I’s afraid of no one, ’cept maybe the Paladins and me mam.”
― Sally Slater, quote from Paladin
“She bit into a piece of heavily buttered bread, her eyes fluttering closed as the golden, flaky crust melted in her mouth. Pure heaven. Tristan was staring at her. “What?” she asked. “Your expression . . .” he said, pink tingeing his cheeks. “Never mind. Ah, here’s Braeden.”
― Sally Slater, quote from Paladin
“Her answer would kill Braeden quicker than any poison. He shut his eyes, and when he opened them again, his face was a controlled mask. He turned from the curtain, walked down the room past the five rows of beds, and nodded politely at Addie. As soon as he was outside of the infirmary, he ran.”
― Sally Slater, quote from Paladin
“I hate everything that moves without legs. It isn't natural, I tell you.”
― Sally Slater, quote from Paladin
“If Sam were the sort of girl prone to fainting, she would have fainted right there on the spot. But as things currently stood, she wasn’t supposed to be a girl, so fainting wasn’t even an option.”
― Sally Slater, quote from Paladin
“His free hand shot out to steady her. “Are you all right?” he asked. His voice was full of concern, but his dancing blue eyes betrayed his amusement. Her skin heated”
― Sally Slater, quote from Paladin
“She lowered her eyes, then peeked at Tristan through her spidery lashes. “Though I would be ’appy to share me own chambers wiv you, love.”
― Sally Slater, quote from Paladin
“If Edward Cullen had of been ugly I'm sure Bella Swan wouldn't have been quite so smitten with him coming into her bedroom to watch her sleep at night. We females can be strange, shallow creatures when the mood takes us.”
― L.H. Cosway, quote from Painted Faces
“And it’s been so long since most of our boys have sailed they hardly know a poop deck from a chamber pot!”
― Andrew Peterson, quote from The Warden and the Wolf King
“Does he tell you that you’re all
he thinks about? Does he tell you that he lives for you?
That he breathes for you? That he dreams of you every
damn moment, awake and asleep? Does he tell you any
of that?’ He pauses to look at me and I try to keep a blank
face. ‘No, I didn’t think so,’ he says quietly.”
― Mila Gray, quote from Come Back to Me
“Confusion is a gift from God. Those times when you feel most desperate for a solution, sit. Wait. The information will become clear. The confusion is there to guide you. Seek detachment and become the producer of your life.”
― The RZA, quote from The Tao of Wu
“I don't remember a single monster before I met you.' he'd told Amphibian. 'Now they seem to be all over the place.'
'You mean there wasn't anything you were afraid of?' the Amphibian had asked him.
'lots.'
'What did they look like?'
It was a funny question.
'They didn't look like anything. They were ideas,' Tom told him. 'Like not being able to pay rent, or being lonely.'
'That's the most terrifying thing I've ever heard.' the Amphibian replied.”
― Andrew Kaufman, quote from All My Friends are Superheroes
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.
