“I studied her face as she got closer. Who wore that much makeup this early in the morning? She looked like she got smacked in the face by a drunk rainbow.”
― Beth Ehemann, quote from Room for You
“Brody, are you sick?" asked Piper.
"Yeah, do you have a fever?" Lucy asked, tugging on my shirt.
I bent down to her level as she felt my forehead. "Nope, not sick. Why?"
They looked at each other and shrugged.
"Mom was on the phone with Auntie Alexa and she said you were hot. If you're hot, you have a fever. Do you need medicine?”
― Beth Ehemann, quote from Room for You
“Tommy would never look at me like that, except maybe if I were walking toward him butt naked carrying a heaping plate of bacon.”
― Beth Ehemann, quote from Room for You
“His nose holes are opening and closing,” Piper responded, making a gross face.”
― Beth Ehemann, quote from Room for You
“Any physical contact with her was a bonus. She could give me a noogie and I’d consider it a win.”
― Beth Ehemann, quote from Room for You
“Kacie, look at me. You can do this, trust me.” “I can’t.” I meant that literally. I couldn’t will my feet to move even if I wanted them to. “Look in my eyes. Yes, you can. You said you trusted me, now come on. Jump in puddles with me.”
― Beth Ehemann, quote from Room for You
“I’ve loved you since that night out on the pier when we looked up at the stars, then I fell in love with you again the next day when you peeked at the sunset from the top of the Ferris wheel, then I fell in love with you again when I saw you in that blue dress, then I fell in love with you again on my kitchen counter, then I fell in love with you again at the cake tasting, then I fell in love with you again at Lauren’s wedding, then I fell in love with you again in that hospital room when you stared at your daughter lying unconscious in that bed…”
― Beth Ehemann, quote from Room for You
“She clearly had some deep scars and should be easy to walk away from, but instead of running the other direction I wanted to scoop her up, clean her off and make her world good again.”
― Beth Ehemann, quote from Room for You
“Life is a sum made up of small parts, Kacie. Some are good; some are bad. You and the girls are definitely one of the good. The best good there is and I’ll fight like hell to keep you here.”
― Beth Ehemann, quote from Room for You
“There’s a saying … I don’t remember it exactly, but something about how having kids is like allowing your heart to walk around outside of your body. It’s so true.”
― Beth Ehemann, quote from Room for You
“People can’t run marathons. Marathons are when the same show is on TV all day long.”
― Beth Ehemann, quote from Room for You
“Oh shit!” She tried to scramble off my lap, but I caught her hips and held her still. “What?” “The French toast, it’s gonna burn!” “Fuck it.” I waved toward the kitchen. “Let it burn, I’m more interested in something else French right now.”
― Beth Ehemann, quote from Room for You
“You were so scared, Kacie, just like you are about life. I wanted you to see that sometimes, even when something terrifies you, if you just give it a chance it’s actually pretty incredible.”
― Beth Ehemann, quote from Room for You
“Um, I don’t know.”
“That’s not the answer I was hoping for. I was looking for something more along the lines of: ‘Why yes, Brody, I’d love to spend the weekend at your house having copious amounts of crazy, sweaty monkey sex.’”
Silence”
― Beth Ehemann, quote from Room for You
“His left hand rested on the island to my right, while his other hand purposely grazed my elbow as he leaned in, reaching for the bag of chocolate chips and pinning my hips to the island. “Just thought I’d help you make pancakes.” His taunting tone was husky with underlying meaning as he bent down, his lips nearly touching mine. “My specialty is licking . . . the spoon when you’re done.”
― Beth Ehemann, quote from Room for You
“DRESS CASUAL. WEAR THAT LITTLE BLACK NUMBER. K: WHAT BLACK NUMBER? THE ONE YOU WERE WEARING IN THE BATHROOM WHEN PIPER OPENED THE DOOR. K: ASS :) Oh, I see you’re back again, smiley face. I hope you’re ready to get your ass kicked this time. I’m gonna turn that one eye into a wink if it kills me.”
― Beth Ehemann, quote from Room for You
“The corners of his eyes crinkled as he smiled and nodded once at me. “Good, cause this lake is pretty deep out there in the middle, and I have a lot of old weights from my military days just laying around, looking for a new purpose.”
― Beth Ehemann, quote from Room for You
“That man is scorching hot, and I’m assuming his southern hemisphere is pretty heavily populated, if you know what I mean,” she said, wiggling her eyebrows up and down.”
― Beth Ehemann, quote from Room for You
“CHAT. WANNA HANG WITH ME AT THE SHOP TONIGHT? The black and white words of Alexa’s text blurred together”
― Beth Ehemann, quote from Room for You
“I love you too, Brody. Completely.”
― Beth Ehemann, quote from Room for You
“She nudged my shoulder without letting go of my hand. Any physical contact with her was a bonus. She could give me a noogie and I’d consider it a win.”
― Beth Ehemann, quote from Room for You
“Catastrophe cliff,” she repeated. “Tommy and I learned about it in counseling. Basically, it just means that you are always on edge, waiting for the worst that can possibly happen to actually happen, though more than likely it never does.” “Oh”
― Beth Ehemann, quote from Room for You
“Who wore that much makeup this early in the morning? She looked like she got smacked in the face by a drunk rainbow.”

“What do you mean fainted?
Took a dive, kissed the pavement. Swooned like a southern belle after her first kiss. Had a dreadful case of the vapors.”
― Ilona Andrews, quote from Magic Slays
“And I know now that all the time I was trying to get
out of the dust,
the fact is,
what I am,
I am because of the dust.
And what I am is good enough.
Even for me.”
― Karen Hesse, quote from Out of the Dust
“Have you considered what you might do to help? You have recovered, so you cannot get the fever again. You are young and strong. We have a real need for you.”
“How can I help anyone? I’m just a girl.” As soon as the words were out of my mouth, I wanted to pinch myself. The first time anyone treats me like a woman and I respond like an infant.”
― Laurie Halse Anderson, quote from Fever 1793
“What about Sebastian?” Myst said. “Tell us anything.”
“Anything? Well, what do I know?” Nix frowned. “What do I know? Oh! I know what I know!”
Nikolai paced impatiently, gesturing with his free hand for her to continue.
She shrugged. “Right now, your brother Sebastian is bellowing at someone outside a castle, demanding that they return to him, wishing it with everything that he is.” She smiled, as if pleased with herself for seeing so much, then gave a quick clap. “Oh! And his skin just caught fire!”

Library of SoulsBookQuoters 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.
