“I can't live without you. I haven't lived a day without you.”
― Amy Lichtenhan, quote from Pulled
“Erin called us soul mates, but I…I’ve always known it was more than that. It’s like we share the same soul, and when we’re apart, each half is looking for the other.”
― Amy Lichtenhan, quote from Pulled
“My body trembled as all the regrets of my life washed through me, my heart feeling as if it were on the verge of failing. My sould cried out for her. It had never stopped its search for her in nine years, and I could still feel her calling for me.”
― Amy Lichtenhan, quote from Pulled
“He had the same look on his face that I had every day when I looked in the mirror. He was nothing more than a shell of a person.”
― Amy Lichtenhan, quote from Pulled
“Baby, I wish I could tell you how much I love you, how much you mean to me."
He nuzzled my cheek and continued down my neck, setting a fire across my skin, churning coals that burst into flames deep within my soul.
"Show me.”
― Amy Lichtenhan, quote from Pulled
“I turned to him, wishing for nothing more than to tell him who I was.
That I was supposed to be Melanie's husband, not him.
That I adored her more than any other creature that had ever lived and always would.
That I had every intention of taking her away from him.”
― Amy Lichtenhan, quote from Pulled
“I loved every broken piece of her and was determined to make her whole again”
― Amy Lichtenhan, quote from Pulled
“Seeing her was like seeing a reflection of myself, a mirror of my pain, my loss, my regret. A mirror of what stirred within me now – this love that had refused to die. She had found me. I had always felt her heart calling to mine just as mine called to hers, this power bringing us together once again.”
― Amy Lichtenhan, quote from Pulled
“I still couldn't believe Melanie was here. It was all I could do to keep myself from jumping over the table to get to her, to fall to my knees, to plead for forgiveness, to beg her to take me back.”
― Amy Lichtenhan, quote from Pulled
“I stood to take a few minutes to clear my head when a strangled sob grounded me to the floor. My head jerked up, my eyes desperate to find what I so longed to see.
My knees went weak, and I grasped the table for support when my eyes met with the emerald that owned my soul.”
― Amy Lichtenhan, quote from Pulled
“Go bring me back my daughter.”
― Amy Lichtenhan, quote from Pulled
“He stood above me, his body visibly trembling.
"This is forever.”
― Amy Lichtenhan, quote from Pulled
“No, baby, I like the dress."
I was just going to like it much, much more in a pile on my bedroom floor.”
― Amy Lichtenhan, quote from Pulled
“My eyes darted to her, dreading to see the pain I knew I would find. Please, Melanie, you have to know I only wanted this with you.
I couldn't say the words out loud, but I prayed she would understand, that she could see it in my eyes.”
― Amy Lichtenhan, quote from Pulled
“That's how I spent the next day and night - dividing my time between my girls. I felt like the go between until the three of us could be together. It was as if I were carrying a piece of one to the other, making them whole, as if we were part of the same soul.”
― Amy Lichtenhan, quote from Pulled
“I’ll never let you go again,Melanie.Never.Nothing will come between us...nothing."
I would destroy anything,and anyone who tried to take her from me.
Being away from her was no longer an option.
She was mine.Only mine.”
― Amy Lichtenhan, quote from Pulled
“Gently, I caressed along the puckered, angry scar slanting in a long, jagged line across my lower abdomen to where it crossed the smooth, silvered scar running in a horizontal line just above my pelvis, wishing she could somehow find comfort in my touch. Chills shook my body as I ran my fingers over the still sensitive skin, and just like every night, the bitterness and anger I found myself feeling faded away into sadness as I lost myself in this tangible reminder of my child. I loved her, so much. Steam filled the room, and I eased myself into the water, allowing myself to drift back to Daniel. I missed him, almost more than I could bear. This was never supposed to have happened to us. We were supposed to make it…we should have made it.”
― Amy Lichtenhan, quote from Pulled

“His fingers splayed out while my heart slammed against his hand.
"How did i ever stay away from you ? I heard this calling out for me everyday." I could feel is breath across my face,his words so sad,filled with so much regret."Did you here mine?"
"yes",I breathed out as my whole body began to shake under his."My heart only beat because I could still feel your love.It was the only thing i had.”
― Amy Lichtenhan, quote from Pulled
“His love was so intense, yet his soul held so much sorrow. I wondered if his hurt went so deep that he could never heal.”
― Amy Lichtenhan, quote from Pulled
“I missed nine years.” With trembling hands, he held me, his anguish apparent, and I could hold back no longer.”
― Amy Lichtenhan, quote from Pulled
“Promise me,” I grunted in desperation as I moved against her. “Promise you’ll never leave me.”
― Amy Lichtenhan, quote from Pulled
“life, a spirit roused, two souls rejoined, marking it the most significant moment in my life as she became one with me.”
― Amy Lichtenhan, quote from Pulled
“Here, where we were home. Here, where we’d been Pulled.”
― Amy Lichtenhan, quote from Pulled
“How did I ever stay away from you?” Gentle fingertips caressed my cheeks, my lips, ran over my chin and down my neck. His palm came to rest on my chest, his fingers splayed out over my heart. It thrummed in devotion against his hand. “I heard this calling out for me every day.” His breath whispered across my face, his words so sad, filled with so much regret. “Did you hear mine?”
― Amy Lichtenhan, quote from Pulled
“embraces. I was filled with awe at being able hold this precious woman again, the one who had invaded every thought of mine for more than eleven years.”

If you’re hanging off a building we’ve got less than ten minutes to reach you before you start going into toxic shock brought on by suspension trauma. In other words, we need a Rescue Plan, which is why we’d prefer people work on Fall Restraint)”

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.
