“ISABEL: Sorry I missed my session Monday.
DR. RUSH: Would you like to tell me why?
ISABEL: I was depressed.
DR. RUSH: That's a good reason to come to therapy.”
― Lisa Lutz, quote from Revenge of the Spellmans
“I'm sorry you're angry" is NOT an apology.”
― Lisa Lutz, quote from Revenge of the Spellmans
“The next week she withheld my paycheck until I signed a document (drafted by David) in which I promised not to marry Connor. Ever. I signed the document, took the check, and had David draft another document forbidding all Spellmans to practice any form of blackmail. David tried to explain to me that a contract in which you promise not to break the law is ultimately redundant, but I didn't care.”
― Lisa Lutz, quote from Revenge of the Spellmans
“It's not like I didn't think I had any demons. I did, but I could name them- and even provide an address and telephone number for each. As far as I was concerned, those demons could go to therapy instead of me.”
― Lisa Lutz, quote from Revenge of the Spellmans
“vous plaît prendre vos vitamines. Chacun d’entre eux. SIMON & SCHUSTER READING GROUP GUIDE Revenge of the Spellmans by Lisa Lutz The times, they are a-changin’—and Isabel (Izzy) Spellman is trying desperately to hit the pause button.”
― Lisa Lutz, quote from Revenge of the Spellmans
“Dad?"
"Yeah?"
"She the reason you’re pissed off all the time?"
"Yeah."
"She the reason you left mom?"
"Yeah."
"You love her?"
"Yeah."
There was a long pause.
"Cool."
"…yeah."
"Dad?"
"Jesus, Cage. What?"
"Does this mean I can have at Miranda?"
Christ.
"Yeah, you fuckin' hornball. Have at it."
"Cool.”
― quote from Undeniable
“Valdžia nebeapsikęsdama 1944 metais į tuos vežimus ėmė kinkyti arklius. Iš viso tą vasarą del nežinomų priežasčių, - ar tik ne del rasinių nusikaltimų? - į koncentracijos lagerį buvo patekę arkliai. Buvo jie, vargšai, pristatyti prie pačių sunkiųjų darbų. Jie turėjo net rąstus tampyti, tokius pat, kokius aš pereitą vasarą tampiau. Tiktai arkliai pasirodė esą sunkiau sukalbami negu žmonės. Rąstus šiaip taip dar jie tempė, bet vežimus su siuntiniais vežioti jie griežtai atsisakė: stojo piestu, lipo į vežimus, maigė siuntinius. Atrodo, šitoks arklių elgesys buvo piktos priešo propagandos vaisius, - šitaip elgtis suagitavo juos kaliniai, patys vežimus prieš tai tempę.”
― Balys Sruoga, quote from Forest of the Gods
“Elgen can twist the truth all they want, but they can’t change”
― Richard Paul Evans, quote from Battle of the Ampere
“You're the tattooed, chain-smoking, beer-guzzling, train wreck, son of the movie star who's marrying my family-values, ex Marine Senator father. You're a tabloid headline, standing right here in front of me!
Yeah? Well, you're the goody-goody, stuck up, boring-ass virgin who's so uptight she can't find anyone to punch her v-card except the manwhore from her school who will screw literally anyone. And then turns out to be the most boring fucking lay I've ever had.”
― Sabrina Paige, quote from Prick
“They kiss like they've kissed for-fucking-ever and they align like a key in a lick and Louis is so fucking happy.
He thinks he hears the world sigh.”
― quote from Young & Beautiful
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.
