“You’re my obsession, I’m your possession You own the deepest part of me You crawled into the darkness, set my monster free So scream, bleed, call out to me But never say stop, never flee”
“there’s always light in the darkness.”
“I had no fucking life before you. You are my life. Without you, I might as well take a shotgun to my head and join you in the dirt because, Tess, if you leave me—if you’re so fucking weak not to fight, then that is what will happen to me. You’ll crucify me.”
“She’s flying free,” Q whispered, freezing me. He raised his head to look at a sparrow that landed on the mesh by his hand. “She’s leaving soon and I don’t think I’ll survive it.”
“I tried, Tess. I really did. I did everything you asked of me. I did everything a man in love would do for his woman. But you don’t want me and my beast no longer wants to hurt you. Whatever we had…it’s lost.”
“I can’t stop you leaving, but I won’t stay to see you go.”
“Fly away, esclave, if that is what you want. I won’t stop you.”
“You’re my obsession, I’m your possession You own the deepest part of me You crawled into the darkness, set my monster free”
“Naked and restrained, this darkness cannot be contained, you, my esclave, have been claimed..”
“You stole my loneliness. I may have given you wings, but you've become my gravity. I’ll never be free of your force.”
“I’d kill for you, Tess. I have killed for you. Don’t undermine me by fearing others. Fear me. Let me rule you!”
“So go ahead, esclave. Take my life as I’m not fit for anything anymore.”
“I wanted to own her past, her present, her future. I wanted to be her first and last and fucking forever. I wanted to wipe everything from her life where I wasn't the center point of her evolution.”
“My esclave - so strong and fierce and sexually feral - was gone. Her cage wasn't me anymore. It was them.”
“The world didn’t matter. This was us. This was our fuckedupness learning how to live without guilt and shame.”
“The moment Tess walked into my life she owned me. I would never be free again. I never wanted to be free again. If Tess thought she'd leave me by killing herself, she'd hate me for eternity when I kept her alive.”
“You don’t mean that. You’ll come back from it. Let me help you.”
“I wanted to highlight her bruises, mark her skin, so everyone knew she belonged to me. I wanted to brand her, to scar her, to wear her blood as a blatant warning to any man who ever looked in her direction.”
“It was barbaric. It was horrific. It was delicious.”
“As enamored as I was with Q, and as much as he fulfilled me, gave me everything my sick, twisted little soul could want, he drove me insane.”
“I needed her more than food or sunlight. Only when she came into my life did I start to live- intoxicated by her taste, screams, and joy.”
“I thought I would be her nightmare - her terror and darkness. I wanted to be. I needed her more than food or sunlight. Only when she came into my life did I start to live - intoxicated by her taste, screams and joy.”
“I hoped she didn't know just how much she affected me, because I was shit terrified of what the future meant for us.”
“ache to see your flesh bleed, scream for me, give me what I need, let the rivers run, the monster inside has won…”
“I died a little inside. The beast hated seeing her so meek and broken while the man learned a new compassion for caring. But day by day, hour by hour, the passion and need I felt for her turned from lover to brother. From consumed to confused.”
“Tighten your grip, make me bleed, it's a hunger I need to feed. Strip me bare, pull my hair, I don't care just take me there.”
“Tie me, tease me, let your pleasure please me. Hurt me, love me, but please don’t ever leave me…”
“Because if you take a risk, you just might find what you're looking for.”
“The destruction of the world depends on the willingness of the people in it to harm each other in any way necessary to achieve their own ends and to further their own causes. And we got that part down pat, don’t we? We know how to hurt each other and how to think up whatever excuses we need to justify it. We’re victims and executioners both.”
“It was safe to assume he'd not only read the play but then re-read it, cross-referenced the annotations, and probably joined an online chat group called Buds of the Bard or something equally nerdy”
“Странность теории относительности происходит от того, что наши личные ощущения пространства и времени отличаются от ощущений других наблюдателей. Эта странность порождена сравнением. Мы вынуждены признать, что наш взгляд на реальность является лишь одним из многих — в сущности, из бесконечно многих — взглядов, которые все прекрасно встраиваются в картину целостного пространства-времени.”
“But the Dark cannot claim what Light does not surrender.”
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.
