“I can feel you
staring at me,” he said in the softest wake-up voice I’d ever heard. “I only
hope you’re a girl and not one of the drunken guys.”
― Piper Shelly, quote from Play With Me
“For the time being—”He emphasized each word. “I’ll be the only one climbing through your window.”
― Piper Shelly, quote from Play With Me
“He can’t play
when someone is watching him,” Justin almost sang into my ear. “Totally screws
up then.”
“But you all
are watching him,” I pointed out.
At the back of
the room, someone laughed. “Yeah, but we’re not girls.”
― Piper Shelly, quote from Play With Me
“Ryan stood over me. “What are you doing?”
“Dying.”
― Piper Shelly, quote from Play With Me
“Why do I have you in my bed, when I'm not allowed to touch you?”
― Piper Shelly, quote from Play With Me

his hand in place. “Move another inch, Hunter, and you’re a dead man.”
― Piper Shelly, quote from Play With Me

― Piper Shelly, quote from Play With Me
“Suddenly his lips twitched. "I can feel you looking at me," he said in the softest wake up voice I'd ever heard. "I only hope you're a girl and not one of the drunken guys." My breath caught in my chest. I jerked my hand from him. Not taking his arm away from his face yet, he reached dowm with his other hand. And slowly ran his palm over my naked thigh in the direction of my bum. "Yep, definitely female," he purred. In panic, I held his hand in place. "Move another inch, Hunter, and you're a dead man."
"Matthews?”
― Piper Shelly, quote from Play With Me
“Plötzlich zuckte sein Mundwinkel. "Ich kann spüren, wie du mich beobachtest. Ich hoffe nur, du bist ein Mädchen und nicht einer der betrunkenen Jungs.”

“Racial and ethnic segragtion is a gospel issue! Cephas' fear and wihdrawal from fellowship across ethnic lines was "not in step with the truth of the gospel." Christ had died to tear down this wall.”
― John Piper, quote from The Passion of Jesus Christ
“If others neither have goods we want nor can perform services we need, we make sure that they are at a safe distance and close ourselves off from them so that their emaciated and tortured bodies can make no inordinate claims on us.”
― Miroslav Volf, quote from Exclusion & Embrace: A Theological Exploration of Identity, Otherness, and Reconciliation
“[When men were ill, they] liked the importance, the confidence, the attack of a demi-god, whose voice was already echoing through the house as he mounted the stairs, who had the maids scurrying for water or blankets and the patient's relatives hanging on every word. Behenna was such a man. His very appearance made the heart beat faster even if, as often happened, it later stopped beating altogether. Failure did not depress him. If one of his patients died, it was not the fault of his remedies, it was the fault of the patient.”
― Winston Graham, quote from The Four Swans
“Just because a flower will fade, does not mean we should neglect its beauty.”

Thus Bad BeginsBookQuoters 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.
