“I’d rather walk a mile with a cucumber up my ass than fuck you.”
― Keri Lake, quote from Ricochet
“The stars in the sky are the souls of the people we love. They shine so bright, not even the night can hide them. And when we’re lost, they guide us.”
― Keri Lake, quote from Ricochet
“Monsters did exist. They didn’t hide under the bed, though. They stormed through the fucking door and stole away everything we loved.
To defeat a monster, I had to become one.”
― Keri Lake, quote from Ricochet
“I saw darkness in her beauty, and she saw beauty in my darkness. Yin and yang. Black and white. Beauty and scars; fury and forgiveness. She should’ve been my nemesis, but in her, I found something I didn’t know I was looking for.”
― Keri Lake, quote from Ricochet
“You’re a fighter. Your scars aren’t about the rounds you’ve lost. They’re about the ones you walked away from. The ones you survived.”
― Keri Lake, quote from Ricochet
“It’s been three years since I’ve touched someone. I don’t want to give you pain with these hands. I just want to feel.”
― Keri Lake, quote from Ricochet
“Every scar told a story, but it was the ones we didn’t want others to see that told a truth.”
― Keri Lake, quote from Ricochet
“The ultimate revenge isn’t the murder of my enemy. It’s the whisper of truth on my last stolen breath.”
― Keri Lake, quote from Ricochet
“The stars in the sky
Unhidden by night
Souls of our loved ones
Guide us by sight
But when dawn breaks
Bringing day’s light
Remain in our hearts
And all wrongs become right;
I'll see you in the night.”
― Keri Lake, quote from Ricochet
“Outside the window, broken and abandoned husks dotted the landscape, set against the gray, dishwater sky. Scarred and beaten, the perfect metaphor for the people who lived within its forgotten neighborhoods, Detroit was like an abused kid, just waiting for the day someone would come along and give a fuck about it. The third world city of America.”
― Keri Lake, quote from Ricochet
“You asked for dark. I’m going to give it to you … You are the violence inside of me, Aubree. My most exquisite destruction.”
― Keri Lake, quote from Ricochet
“Shit seemed to get crazy the moment I whipped out my dick, like unleashing the goddamn Kraken every time I unzipped my pants.”
― Keri Lake, quote from Ricochet
“There was a time I’d feared the dark, but I’d since found comfort in it. Felt protected by it.”
― Keri Lake, quote from Ricochet
“There was nothing normal or typical about our love. We should’ve been one hot mess of madness for all that we’d suffered, but just as a flower grows from the sky’s tears, our love grew from pain. It blossomed in darkness and thrived with time.”
― Keri Lake, quote from Ricochet
“There’s little joy in life for me, And little terror in the grave; I’ve lived the parting hour to see Of one I would have died to save.”
― Keri Lake, quote from Ricochet
“You were never meant to be mine, Aubree. But I’ll take you. All of you.”
― Keri Lake, quote from Ricochet
“Apart, we were nothing more than two broken halves, but together, our jagged edges fit perfectly, sealed into something whole again.”
― Keri Lake, quote from Ricochet
“Love was the only thing stronger than hate. Fuck, if I didn’t already try hating her once.”
― Keri Lake, quote from Ricochet
“Those three words again. I’ve got you.”
― Keri Lake, quote from Ricochet
“I don’t want easy and uncomplicated. I want love that makes me fucking insane and irrational. I want to drown in it and never come back up for air.”
― Keri Lake, quote from Ricochet
“Cage a bird that once felt the wind through its feathers and the world beneath its feet, and you’d find that insane glint of hope in its eyes that enticed it to escape every time the door swung open. Even if it could no longer fly, it’d never stop vying for its freedom, and neither would I.”
― Keri Lake, quote from Ricochet
“That was the thing about pain, it came with a universal understanding for those who survived it—don’t ask, don’t tell.”
― Keri Lake, quote from Ricochet
“Whatever happens at the end of this … I gave you all of me. My fears. My desires. It’s all yours. And now I want all of you.”
― Keri Lake, quote from Ricochet
“Could you even imagine a place where we watch sunrises, have sex, eat, shower, have sex, lay in the sun, watch sunsets, sex.” “I’m picking up on a theme …”
― Keri Lake, quote from Ricochet
“But fuck, that body of hers called out to me like a siren. I felt like a rotten bastard for what I wanted to do to it. How badly I needed to watch her writhe with the pleasure of being defiled by my cock, while her screams reverberated inside the small shower stall.”
― Keri Lake, quote from Ricochet
“You never tried to make yourself known to her because … you were giving her to me.”
― Keri Lake, quote from Ricochet
“I want to.” To be set free? Fucked? I’ve no idea what she’s begging me for.”
― Keri Lake, quote from Ricochet
“She lowers herself to the bed and releases a pained sigh that is both relief and agony. I know this because I feel it, too, as I rock in and out of her tight pussy with the realization that I don’t want the torment to end. I want to stay inside of her, with her warm, silky body around my dick and her soft whisper droning inside my head, telling me how good it feels.”
― Keri Lake, quote from Ricochet
“To defeat a monster, I had to become one.”
― Keri Lake, quote from Ricochet

“The truth is that The Wild One -- despite an admittedly fictional treatment -- was an inspired piece of film journalism. Instead of institutionalizing common knowledge, in the style of Time, it told a story that was only beginning to happen and which was inevitably influenced by the film. It gave the outlaws a lasting, romance-glazed image of themselves, a coherent reflection that only a very few had been able to find in a mirror, and it quickly became the bike rider's answer to The Sun Also Rises. The image is not valid, but its wide acceptance can hardly be blamed on the movie. The Wild One was careful to distinguish between "good outlaws" and "bad outlaws," but the people who were most influenced chose to identify with Brando instead of Lee Marvin whose role as the villain was a lot more true to life than Brando's portrayal of the confused hero. They saw themselves as modern Robin Hoods ... virile, inarticulate brutes whose good instincts got warped somewhere in the struggle for self-expression and who spent the rest of their violent lives seeking revenge on a world that done them wrong when they were young and defenseless.”

“You won't be able to do it wrong, Durnik--any more than you'd be able to lie or cheat or steal. It's built into you to do it right, so don't worry about it."
"That's all very well for you to say, Mistress, Pol," he replied, "but if you don't mind, I will worry about it just a bit--privately of course.”

Blood DebtBookQuoters 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.
