“Tomorrow was my second chance to make things right but it never came. I’m sorry I never treasured the time we had for those regrets I take the blame. You gave everything you had. I took without giving back.” Sed paused in his song, feeling ridiculous for singing it to her while they made love.
“Baby, you realize this song is about Trey’s dead dog, don’t you?”
“I love those dimples."
He hated the damn things, but if they made her happy, he'd be sure to smile like a dipshit more often.”
“Used"
You don't see me
Blind to the real me
I'm not who you think I should be
But I can't be someone I'm not
I'll try to be who you need,
what you need,
I fail again
tear me, cut me make me bleed
If it opens your heart to me
Just don't leave me with nothing
less than nothing
Like the last time
use me
It's better than existing without you
~Sed's lyrics”
“Can I book an appointment for make-up sex in two hours?
~Sed”
“Did you piss your pants, Eric?”
“Sed did it.”
“Sed pissed your pants?” Trey shook his head slightly. “Man, that takes pissed off to a whole new level.”
“I think that’s pissed on, not off,” Brian said.”
“Without you, I'm nothing. Don't you understand that?”
“He sighed and wiped a hand over his face. If there were a Jessica Chace instruction manual, it would be written backwards in Arabic Pig Latin and twelve thousand pages long with random pages missing.”
“Sed Kissed her on the forehead. "You know what I hate about you?"
She scowled, some strange emotion stealing her breath. "What?"
"You know me too well."
"You know what I hate about you?"
"What?"
"Everything."
"Oh yeah?"
She nodded.
He chuckled. "Baby, if that's how you show your hatred, I can't wait to see how you show you care.”
“I'm in your business, Trey. I'm so far in your business, your grandchildren will call me partner.”
“You fuckin' rock, baby," he murmured.
"You rock at fuckin', baby.”
“This is mine," he growled into her ear.
"Say it."
"Say it Jessica. Say it.”
“I wish I was a spoon, " he murmured.
~Sed”
“He's really sweet, actually."
"I don't think we're talking about the same Sed. Sedric Lionheart. Tall guy. Broad shoulders. Blue eyes. Short black hair. Body befitting a Greek god. Sings. La la la la.”
“Sed’s heart sank to his toes. Too late for that. He was already on the boat. Was Jessica planning to kill him and then dump his body overboard before sailing off into the sunset with his drummer and bassist?”
“Just looking at her hurt. When he couldn't see her, it hurt. When he thought about her, it hurt. When he tried not to think about her, it hurt. But which hurt more, being with her or without her?”
“F. An F? She gulped air. An F! Failure. Failurino. Failurocity. Failtacular. Failpendous. Epic...fail.”
“Dad always insisted a man's job was to protect the women he love-whether mother, siser, wife, or teasured lover.”
“If I didn't already love you, Jessica Chase, I'd fall in love with you all over again, every minute of every day.”
“its pretty warm out here for a coat.' Jessica said, an eyebrow lifted at him.
'i'm willing to suffer for style.”
“The best day of my life used to be the day I asked you to marry me onstage in Pittsburgh, but as memorable as that was, today has been even better.”
“You want to go somewhere?' he asked.
'Like now? its late.'
'isn't las vegas the city that never sleeps?'
'i think that's new york.'
'right. this is sin city.”
“Cariño, si es así como muestras tu odio, no puedo esperar
para ver cómo muestras tu afecto.”
“Just because you’re mad at someone doesn’t mean you stop loving them.”
“¿Eso es una anaconda en tu bolsillo o solamente estás feliz de verme?”
“Me parece que estas bailando arriba y debajo de mi barra.”
“la oreja. —Eh, cariño, ¿a que no lo adivinas? —¿El qué? —preguntó él distraídamente. Ella atisbó alrededor del hombro de Sed para descubrir que tenía el ceño fruncido mientras contemplaba un montón de facturas. —¡He entrado! La confusión hizo que el fruncimiento de ceño de Sed se volviera un poco más sombrío. —¿Que has entrado? ¿Dónde? Ella”
“hubiera podido ser más perfecta. Se acercó sigilosamente a Sed, le echó los brazos al cuello, y le besó la oreja. —Eh, cariño, ¿a que no lo adivinas? —¿El qué? —preguntó él distraídamente. Ella atisbó alrededor del hombro de Sed para descubrir que tenía el ceño fruncido mientras contemplaba un montón de facturas. —¡He entrado! La confusión hizo que el fruncimiento de ceño de Sed se volviera un poco”
“Good thinking,” said Coach. “Paddle for shore!”

“Little things matter far more than big ones. We remember them longer. We can’t control the big things. If you think about what’s happened in the past, it will be the small moments that come to the forefront, not the big transitions. The big things were just history. The small moments are yours. The books those monks printed are still preserved centuries after they were gone. Little things matter.”
“I am always a different man; a reinterpretation of the man I was yesterday, and the day before, and all the days I have lived. The past is gone, was always gone; it does not exist, except in memory, and what is memory but thought, a copy of perception, no less but no more replete with truth than any passing whim, fancy, or other agitation of the mind. And if it is actions, words, thoughts that define an individual, those definitions alter like the weather - if continuity and pattern are often discernible, so are chaos and sudden change.”
“Oh God, you’re one of those pimps that takes girls off the streets and gets them addicted to drugs and turns them into prostitutes, aren’t you?!” My future suddenly maps out in front of me. I can see myself all greasy hair, short skirts and ripped tights, getting into stranger’s cars.”
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.
