“Every couple needs to argue now and then. Just to prove that the relationship is strong enough to survive. Long-term relationships, the ones that matter, are all about weathering the peaks and the valleys.”
― Nicholas Sparks, quote from Safe Haven
“She wasnt exactly sure when it happened. Or even when it started. All she knew for sure was that right here and now, she was falling hard and she could only pray that he was feeling the same way.”
― Nicholas Sparks, quote from Safe Haven
“Love doesn't mean anything if you're not willing to make a commitment, and you have to think not only about what you want, but about what he wants. Not just now, but in the future.”
― Nicholas Sparks, quote from Safe Haven
“I've come to believe that in everyone's life, there's one undeniable moment of change, a set of circumstances that suddenly alters everything.”
― Nicholas Sparks, quote from Safe Haven
“Deep in her heart, she wasn't sure she deserved to be happy, nor did she believe that she was worthy of someone who seemed...normal.”
― Nicholas Sparks, quote from Safe Haven
“That's the thing about life. A lot of the time, it isn't easy at all. We just have to try to make the best of it.”
― Nicholas Sparks, quote from Safe Haven
“Everyone has a past, but that's just it--it's in the past. You can learn from it, but you can't change it.”
― Nicholas Sparks, quote from Safe Haven
“...nothing wonderful lasted forever. Joy was as fleeting as a shooting star that crossed the evening sky, ready to blink out at any moment.”
― Nicholas Sparks, quote from Safe Haven
“That he would love her no matter what she told him, and that he was the kind of man who loved her already and would love her forever.”
― Nicholas Sparks, quote from Safe Haven
“I'm not sure anyone's life turns out exactly the way they imagine. All we can do is to try to make the best of it. Even when it seems impossible.”
― Nicholas Sparks, quote from Safe Haven
“Because everybody lies. It's part of living in society. Don't get me wrong-I think it's necessary. The last thing anyone wants is to live in a society where total honesty prevails. Can you imagine the conversations? You're short and fat, one person might say, and the other might answer, I know. But you smell bad. It just wouldn't work. So people lie by omission all the time. People will tell you most of the story...and I've learned that the part they neglect to tell you is often the most important part. People hide the truth because they're afraid." -Jo”
― Nicholas Sparks, quote from Safe Haven
“Because being comfortable meant she might lower her guard, and she could not let that happen.”
― Nicholas Sparks, quote from Safe Haven
“If you love Alex now, then love him forever. Make him laugh again, and cherish the time you spend together. Take walks and ride your bikes, curl up on the couch and watch movies beneath a blanket. Make him breakfast, but don't spoil him. Let him make breakfast for you as well, so he can show you he thinks you're special. Kiss him and make love to him and consider yourself lucky for having met him, for he's the kind of man who'll prove you right.”
― Nicholas Sparks, quote from Safe Haven
“Maybe I don't want to be defined by what I do. Maybe I'd like to be defined by what I am.”
― Nicholas Sparks, quote from Safe Haven
“I truly believe that while love can hurt, love can also heal…”
― Nicholas Sparks, quote from Safe Haven
“Love doesn't mean anything if you're not willing to make a commitment.”
― Nicholas Sparks, quote from Safe Haven
“When she looked up at him, it was suddenly easy for her to imagine that her fears were pointless. That he would love her no matter what she told him, and that he was the kind of man who loved her already and would love her forever.”
― Nicholas Sparks, quote from Safe Haven
“I just tell people what they already know, but are afraid to admit to themselves.”
― Nicholas Sparks, quote from Safe Haven
“People will tell you most of the story… and I’ve learned that the part they neglect to tell you is often the most important part. People hide the truth because they’re afraid.”
― Nicholas Sparks, quote from Safe Haven
“because the past was always around her and might return at any time. It prowled the world searching for her, and she knew it was growing angrier at every passing day.”
― Nicholas Sparks, quote from Safe Haven
“It’s never too late to do the right thing.”
― Nicholas Sparks, quote from Safe Haven
“I think you're intelligent and charming, and that you're a person with a kind heart. I know that when you want to, you can look more beautiful than anyone I've ever met. You're independent, you've got a good sense of humor, and you show surprising patience with children." -Alex”
― Nicholas Sparks, quote from Safe Haven
“That's what courage is. If she weren't scared, she wouldn't need courage in the first place." -Jo”
― Nicholas Sparks, quote from Safe Haven
“Love can sometimes achieve the impossible”
― Nicholas Sparks, quote from Safe Haven
“Little girls. They could melt the toughest hearts.”
― Nicholas Sparks, quote from Safe Haven
“You never answered my question, about what you want to do with your life.
Maybe my dreams aren't that complicated. Maybe I think that a job is just a job.
What does that mean?
Maybe I don't want to be defined by what I do. Maybe I'd like to be defined by what I am.”
― Nicholas Sparks, quote from Safe Haven
“Besides, every couple needs to argue now and then. Just to prove that the relationship is strong enough to survive it.”
― Nicholas Sparks, quote from Safe Haven
“Consider yourself lucky for having met him, for he's the kind of man who'll prove you right.”
― Nicholas Sparks, quote from Safe Haven
“He always apologized, and sometimes he would even cry because of the bruises he'd made on her arms or legs or her back. He would say that he hated what he'd done, but in the next breath tell her she'd deserved it. That if she'd been more careful, it wouldn't have happened. That if she'd been paying attention or hadn't been so stupid, he wouldn't have lost his temper.”
― Nicholas Sparks, quote from Safe Haven
“Absolutely not. I'm an expert in procrastination, but the last thing I want you to think is that I'm incompetent, too. Because I'm actually pretty good at what I do." -Jo”

“the partisans, on one side were the backers of Caesar, with his popular political programme and clear leanings towards one-man rule. Cicero assumed that this was where the sympathies and interests of the poor naturally lay. On the other side were a motley group of those who, for various reasons, did not like what Caesar was up to or the powers he seemed to be seeking. A few were probably as highly principled as they were unrealistic; as Cicero once said of Cato, ‘he talks as if he were in the Republic of Plato, when in fact he is in the crap of Romulus’.”
― quote from SPQR: A History of Ancient Rome
“CHRIST,” BILL EXHALED LOUDLY AND grabbed the back of his head. “Let him go. Put the table back.” Nathan and Jim let go of me. I turned, pressed my back to the wall and inched toward the far corner of the room. The two men slid the table to the middle of the room. Bill stood in front of the door, his head turned. The three men nodded at each other. Bill cracked the door. “Yeah?” The voice responded low and hushed. I couldn’t make out the words. Bill covered most of the door with his body. Nathan hung back in the corner nearest me. Jim stood a few feet from Bill. Bill took a step back, looked over his shoulder at me and shook his head. “Nathan, watch him for a minute.” “OK,” Nathan said. Bill and Jim stepped out. The door closed behind them. Nathan walked backward to the door. He kept his eyes on me. “Bet I could take you down,” I said.”

WarpedBookQuoters 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.
