“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,”
― Belle Aurora, quote from Raw
“Walking away, I mentally hear glass cracking under my feet because I step right over my shattered heart.”

“You said you’d never leave me. And I’m holding you to that. Because when you’re safe again, I’m coming for you, Angel.”
― 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.”

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
“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
“taught me it’s that life is short, and if you want something, you have to reach out with both hands and grip it tightly.”
― 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

― 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?”

“Clarissa will be bereaved, deeply lonely, but she will not die. She will be too much in love with life, with London. Virginia imagines someone else, yes, someone strong of body but frail-minded; someone with a touch of genius, of poetry, ground under by the wheels of the world, by war and government, by doctors; a someone who is, technically speaking insane, because that person sees meaning everywhere, knows that trees are sentient beings and sparrows sing in Greek. Yes, someone like that. Clarissa, sane Clarissa -exultant, ordinary Clarissa - will go on, loving London, loving her life of ordinary pleasures, and someone else, a deranged poet, a visonary, will be the one to die.”
― Michael Cunningham, quote from The Hours
“For what says Quinapalus? Better a witty fool than a foolish wit.”

“Even a broken heart doesn't warrant a waste of good paper.”
― Dodie Smith, quote from I Capture the Castle
“I feel that there is much to be said for the Celtic belief that the souls of those whom we have lost are held captive in some inferior being, in an animal, in a plant, in some inanimate object, and thus effectively lost to us until the day (which to many never comes) when we happen to pass by the tree or to obtain possession of the object which forms their prison. Then they start and tremble, they call us by our name, and as soon as we have recognised them the spell is broken. Delivered by us, they have overcome death and return to share our life.
And so it is with our own past. It is a labour in vain to attempt to recapture it: all the efforts of our intellect must prove futile. The past is hidden somewhere outside the realm, beyond the reach of intellect, in some material object (in the sensation which that material object will give us) of which we have no inkling. And it depends on chance whether or not we come upon this object before we ourselves must die.”
― Marcel Proust, quote from Swann's Way
“So one time when I was working in this motel one of the toilets leaked and I had to replace the flapper ball. Here’s what it said on the package; I kept it till I knew it by heart: ‘Please Note. Parts are included for all installations, but no installation requires all of the parts.’ That’s kind of my philosophy about men. I don’t think there’s an installation out there that could use all of my parts.”

AwakenBookQuoters 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.
