“Don't what, Princess?" I ask. "You're the one who's rubbing up against my cock like it's a magic lamp.”
― Sabrina Paige, quote from Prick
“There's good sex, and then there's sex where the memory takes up permanent residence in your brain, changes the fucking chemical balance or something so that you crave it like a damn fix. It makes you jones for it, gets under your skin like an itch. That's the kind of sex this is.”
― Sabrina Paige, quote from Prick
“When I put my mouth on hers for the first time, it's fucking magic. I can't describe what she tastes like except that it's everything that's right with the world. ”
― Sabrina Paige, quote from Prick
“So you're out here mainlining caffeine and nicotine, or what?
Gotta have my fix. I mean, I prefer a good morning fuck to wake me up.
Well, it's a good thing you've got the coffee and the cigarettes, then.”
― Sabrina Paige, quote from Prick
“You're the tattooed, chain-smoking, beer-guzzling, train wreck, son of the movie star who's marrying my family-values, ex Marine Senator father. You're a tabloid headline, standing right here in front of me!
Yeah? Well, you're the goody-goody, stuck up, boring-ass virgin who's so uptight she can't find anyone to punch her v-card except the manwhore from her school who will screw literally anyone. And then turns out to be the most boring fucking lay I've ever had.”
― Sabrina Paige, quote from Prick
“But Katherine is different from all of those other girls. She never wanted anything to do with me, writing me off as some kind of filthy manwhore. That fact makes me respect her as a good judge of character, since it's pretty accurate.”
― Sabrina Paige, quote from Prick
“Brighton’s not exactly a big place,” Caulter says. “Everyone knows everything about everyone. It’s practically incestuous.”
― Sabrina Paige, quote from Prick
“My dick is not moving from where it's lodged, pressed up against the zipper of my jeans. I think her holier-than-thou attitude might have even made it harder.
Clearly, my dick has poor taste in women.”
― Sabrina Paige, quote from Prick
“You're not so bad, Princess. I mean, for a stuck up bitch.”
― Sabrina Paige, quote from Prick
“Don't Caulter --
Don't what Princess? You're the one who's rubbing up against my cock like it's a magic lamp.”
― Sabrina Paige, quote from Prick
“Of course we get along, I say. What I don’t say is that Caulter’s face was buried between my legs this morning before I even got out of bed. ”
― Sabrina Paige, quote from Prick
“For my husband. If I weren't married to you, how in the world would I be able to write a book called Prick? You are always inspirational.”
― Sabrina Paige, quote from Prick
“I hate you.” She has the most fuckable mouth I've ever seen. "The feeling is completely mutual," I say, before I bring my mouth down on hers, crushing her lips against mine.”
― Sabrina Paige, quote from Prick
“I want things that will only ruin me, Alexis. But you…you make me want to wish for them anyway. Make me believe there’s a chance that maybe they could belong to me.”
― A.L. Jackson, quote from Stand
“(What makes his world so hard to see clearly is not its strangeness but its usualness).Familiarity can blind you too.”
― Robert M. Pirsig, quote from Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance
“It'll be when you first learn to walk that I get daily demonstrations of the asymmetry in our relationship. You'll be incessantly running off somewhere, and each time you walk into a door frame or scrape your knee, the pain feels like it's my own. It'll be like growing an errant limb, an extension of myself whose sensory nerves report pain just fine, but whose motor nerves don't convey my commands at all. It's so unfair: I'm going to give birth to an animated voodoo doll of myself. I didn't see this in the contract when I signed up. Was this part of the deal?”
― Ted Chiang, quote from Stories of Your Life and Others
“You are sorrow. You exist, even if joy is present. You’re not like them. You’re not like any other emotion. Hate and fear come and go, but you exist even when the breeze is clear of sadness. You are permanent and needed.”
― H.S. Crow, quote from Lunora and the Monster King
“Paradise is not the place in which you arrive but the journey toward it. Sometimes I think victories must be temporary or incomplete; what kind of humanity would survive paradise? The industrialized world has tried to approximate paradise in its suburbs, with luxe, calme, volupté, cul-de-sacs, cable television and two-car garages, and it has produced a soft ennui that shades over into despair and a decay of the soul suggesting that Paradise is already a gulag. Countless desperate teenagers will tell you so. For paradise does not require of us courage, selflessness, creativity, passion: paradise in all accounts is passive, is sedative, and if you read carefully, soulless.”
― Rebecca Solnit, quote from Hope in the Dark: The Untold History of People Power
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.
