“It isn't always easy between us. I admit that. But it's right between us, always.”
“She’d heard of love triangles before, but a love square?”
“You look like a decent young man."
Leon didn't smile. "I'm not.”
“There"s nothing left between us at all, is there?” she asked.
For a long moment he said nothing, and the pebbles made a clicking noise in his fingers.
Then, as if it gave him no pleasure at all, he replied.
“Whose fault is that?”
“What boy could resist you?"
"Will's hardly a boy."
"Don't give me that. He's a boy playing a game," Norris said. "The oldest game there is.”
“And for once, she was happy. Very.”
“Every tiny, happy thing makes me want to share it with you," he went on, leaning forward. "I thought I would get over this, but I can't, and I'm done trying. I understand you like no one else here ever can."
-Leon Grey”
“It isn't always easy between us. I admit that. But it's still right between us, always.”
“I can be loyal, Leon. I know what that is."
He laughed. "Finally, the girl gives me a crumb”
“You make me sound like some kind of moral freak."
The Matrarc's eyebrows lifted slightly. "Isn't that what you are?”
“It isn't always easy between us, I admit that. But it's right between us, always."
-Leon Grey”
“It isn’t always easy between us. I admit that. But it’s right between us, always.”
“—Yo no quiero a nadie, prefiero mis libros.”
“I can’t take this place anymore. It’s just not right. Any of it.” “Now you see.” She”
“I'd rather be myself," he said. "Myself and nasty. Not somebody else, however jolly.”
“Or maybe I’m just a reckless fool, the way I was when I once jumped eighty feet off Foster Falls, near Sequatchie, Tennessee, or went swimming in the Atlantic Ocean during a hurricane. You could say—and some have—that I have a death wish. Not sure. I believe it’s more accurate to say I have a risk wish, somehow clinging to the notion that achieving these audacious feats will somehow make me worthy, make me special, as if I’d taken some magical, esteem-enhancing drug.”
“If the components of the body were organs and veins and cells, then the components of thought and language were words and grammar.”
“If you've not been loved as a child, you don't know how to love a child.”
“Everyone stop moving!” he bellowed. “Especially you, chickens! CHICKENS, GIVE UP! WE’RE GOING TO EAT YOU! THERE’S NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT! STOP RUNNING AWAY RIGHT NOW!” “SQUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWK”
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.
