“Monsters don't always lurk in the shadows. Sometimes they hide in plain sight.”
― Belle Aurora, quote from Raw
“I don't want a knight in shining armor.
I don't want a knight in scuffed armor.
I want his helmet to have dents. I want my knight to be real, and dark and savage. I want my knight to be a survivor. Someone who's been tested and got through his trails. Not some pussy in gleaming metal.”
― Belle Aurora, quote from Raw
“We're all addicted to something that takes away the pain”
― Belle Aurora, quote from Raw
“Not everyone can be a fairy-tale hero.” He pauses a moment, then adds, “The world needs villains too.”
― Belle Aurora, quote from Raw

― Belle Aurora, quote from Raw

― Belle Aurora, quote from Raw
“A strong woman can also be submissive in bed. It doesn’t make her weak. It makes her stronger than most. Putting your body into the hands of someone else…that takes balls.”
― Belle Aurora, quote from Raw
“Sometimes good people have to do bad things. It’s nothing personal. It’s just life,”

“Walking away, I mentally hear glass cracking under my feet because I step right over my shattered heart.”

― Belle Aurora, quote from Raw
“Kissing her once more, I tell her without hesitation, "if you promise to never leave me, I will love you. And be good to you. I'll treat you like a queen." My queen. I heard somewhere that a king only bows down to his queen. And I'm bowing down to Lexi.”
― Belle Aurora, quote from Raw
“You can push a person to change, but the only time the change will stick is when it's something they want to achive on their own.”
― Belle Aurora, quote from Raw
“You know that thing that people have that tells them they’re doing something wrong or pushing too far?
Yeah. I don’t have one of those.”
― Belle Aurora, quote from Raw
“Stupid movies and their completely inaccurate argument scenes.”
― Belle Aurora, quote from Raw

― Belle Aurora, quote from Raw
“I don’t want a knight in shining armor. I want a knight in scuffed armor. I want his helmet to have dents. I want my knight to be real, and dark, and savage. I want my knight to be a survivor. Someone who’s been tested and got through his trials. Not some pussy in gleaming metal. I don’t want gleaming metal. I don’t need a fucking knight. I need a fearless warrior. I need Twitch.”
― Belle Aurora, quote from Raw

― Belle Aurora, quote from Raw
“There’s something about having your choices taken from you that is equally liberating and frightening. Handing over control to a person is a big deal. A showing of trust. And sometimes, I would like to be taken on a ride rather than drive.”
― Belle Aurora, quote from Raw
“You’re nobody ‘til somebody loves you.”
― Belle Aurora, quote from Raw
“This is just how I pictured it in my head. Raw and gritty, and dirty as hell.”
― Belle Aurora, quote from Raw
“You, my dear, are a stupid ho.”
― Belle Aurora, quote from Raw
“His brand of sex comes with a warning label.”
― Belle Aurora, quote from Raw
“Being dropped by your stalker is pretty bad. I mean he watches you week-in, week-out for almost a year, and then you have sex and he’s like ‘wham, bam, thank you, ma’am. We no longer require your position as victim. Don’t call us; we’ll call you. It’s not you…it’s me. We’re just at different stages of our stalker/stalkee relationship. I need space.’
How pathetic are you? You’re actually ticked off that your stalker is no longer skulking around in the shadows. That’s just…pitiful.”
― Belle Aurora, quote from Raw
“There’s something animalistic about this man. Something I want to be a part of. Something I want to be included in. He’s a force of nature.”
― Belle Aurora, quote from Raw
“Sometimes, when you look close enough at a person hoping to find clarity, the image of the person becomes so hazy, so distorted, that all you're left with is unclear thoughts and more questions.”
― Belle Aurora, quote from Raw
“Number three, you’re so fucking hot when you get worked up that I would really like for you to suck my cock. And when I say I would really like that, I mean suck my cock, Lexi. Now.”
― Belle Aurora, quote from Raw
“You’re going to get me dirty.” His eyes darken a shade. “Already have, baby.”
― Belle Aurora, quote from Raw
“This could be the biggest mistake of my life. Or it could be the most perfect prize. One you’ve earned.”
― Belle Aurora, quote from Raw
“Is there anything sexier than the noises a man makes during sex?”

“What I mean is, I love winter, and when you really love something, then it loves you back, in whatever way it has to love.”

“The right thing and the easy thing are never the same.”
― Kami Garcia, quote from Beautiful Creatures
“The greatest mystery the universe offers is not life but size. Size encompasses life, and the Tower encompasses size. The child, who is most at home with wonder, says: Daddy, what is above the sky? And the father says: The darkness of space. The child: What is beyond space? The father: The galaxy. The child: Beyond the galaxy? The father: Another galaxy. The child: Beyond the other galaxies? The father: No one knows.
You see? Size defeats us. For the fish, the lake in which he lives is the universe. What does the fish think when he is jerked up by the mouth through the silver limits of existence and into a new universe where the air drowns him and the light is blue madness? Where huge bipeds with no gills stuff it into a suffocating box and cover it with wet weeds to die?
Or one might take the tip of the pencil and magnify it. One reaches the point where a stunning realization strikes home: The pencil tip is not solid; it is composed of atoms which whirl and revolve like a trillion demon planets. What seems solid to us is actually only a loose net held together by gravity. Viewed at their actual size, the distances between these atoms might become league, gulfs, aeons. The atoms themselves are composed of nuclei and revolving protons and electrons. One may step down further to subatomic particles. And then to what? Tachyons? Nothing? Of course not. Everything in the universe denies nothing; to suggest an ending is the one absurdity.
If you fell outward to the limit of the universe, would you find a board fence and signs reading DEAD END? No. You might find something hard and rounded, as the chick must see the egg from the inside. And if you should peck through the shell (or find a door), what great and torrential light might shine through your opening at the end of space? Might you look through and discover our entire universe is but part of one atom on a blade of grass? Might you be forced to think that by burning a twig you incinerate an eternity of eternities? That existence rises not to one infinite but to an infinity of them?”
― Stephen King, quote from The Gunslinger
“Had the cub thought in man-fashion, he might have epitomized life as a voracious appetite, and the world as a place wherein ranged a multitude of appetites, pursuing and being pursued, hunting and being hunted, eating and being eaten, all in blindness and confusion, with violence and disorder, a chaos of gluttony and slaughter, ruled over by chance, merciless, planless, endless.”

MetamorphosesBookQuoters 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.
