“Attitudes change once the die is cast,”
― Johanna Lindsey, quote from Savage Thunder
“Scream now, Duchess, while you’ve got the chance. You won’t get another.”
― Johanna Lindsey, quote from Savage Thunder
“Lady, no man in his right mind would want to kill you. There’s many things I could think of that a man would want to do to you, but killing isn’t one of them.”
― Johanna Lindsey, quote from Savage Thunder
“Done, Mr. Thunder,” Jocelyn said with a good deal of pleasure. “You now work for me.” She had to turn away quickly before she laughed aloud at the expression of utter disbelief that appeared on his handsome face.”
― Johanna Lindsey, quote from Savage Thunder
“It was the most incredible ride of her life.”
― Johanna Lindsey, quote from Savage Thunder
“Do you know what would happen to you if I had found you then? This—and a helluva lot more.”
― Johanna Lindsey, quote from Savage Thunder
“Will you marry me?"
Jocelyn's forehead dropped against the window. It was a wonder her legs didn't give out. She felt such unbelievable relief on hearing those words, and such ecstasy washing over her — and he'd made her suffer for three weeks while he made up his mind.
"I don't know," she said in a perfectly normal tone, though she didn't know how she managed it. "The countess says one shouldn't marry her lover. Ruins the romance, you know."
"Am I still your lover?"
"If you are, you've been a very inattentive one."
He kissed the pout from her lips, slowly, persuasively. "What if you marry me for the hell of it, but we pretend we're just lovers?"
"That sounds rather nice, especially since lovers tend to love each other."
"And married folks don't?"
"Not always."
"I won't have any problem with that."
"You won't?"
"Don't look so surprised, Duchess. Did you think I was after your money?"
She was chagrined by his grin, and snorted, "You'll probably ask me to give it all away."
"I might."
"And live in a cabin in the hills."
"I might."
"And have your babies and wash your clothes."
"I'd like to keep my clothes intact, and I warn you now, you're not getting anywhere near my stove. I guess you'll have to have a few servants around after all."
"And the babies?"
"You want some?"
"Most definitely."
"I guess that means you love me, huh?"
"Or I just like your body. Did I tell you what a splendid— Yes!" she squealed when he squeezed her tight. "I love you, you wretched man.”
― Johanna Lindsey, quote from Savage Thunder
“despite his single-minded determination, he forced himself to give her one last opportunity to escape what he could no longer control himself.”
― Johanna Lindsey, quote from Savage Thunder
“If he had come across her six years ago, he would have simply ridden off with her and made her his. But he was “civilized” now and so couldn’t follow his natural inclinations anymore.”
― Johanna Lindsey, quote from Savage Thunder
“She wanted the touch of his mouth on hers so much that she was willing to take the hurt with it.”
― Johanna Lindsey, quote from Savage Thunder
“I don’t see what that has to do with it. I hope you don’t think I waited a year after the earl passed on to take a lover. Goodness, no. A woman has needs every bit as strong as a man’s.”
― Johanna Lindsey, quote from Savage Thunder
“Jocelyn had to get rid of her maidenhead. It was the only way she could keep Edward’s name from being blackened with ugly gossip. And after all, a widow had no business being a virgin.”

“The next morning we reach the Cilician Gates, and look out over one of the most beautiful views I know. It is like standing on the rim of the world and looking down on the promised land, and one feels much as Moses must have felt. For here, too, there is no entering in. ... The soft, hazy dark blue loveliness is a land one will never reach; the actual towns and villages when one gets there will be only the ordinary everyday world—not this enchanted beauty that beckons you down.”
― quote from Come, Tell Me How You Live
“An avalanche starts with one pebble. A forest with one seed. And it takes one word to make the whole world stop and listen. All you need is the right one.”
― Jay Kristoff, quote from Endsinger
“He abhorred not the virgin’s womb.” The writer thought about this and said, “Wait a minute here. The womb of the creature? How could the everlasting, eternal, infinite God, whom space cannot contain, confine Himself inside one of His creatures? Wouldn’t it be a humiliation?” Then he smiled and said, “No, He abhorred not the virgin’s womb,”
― A.W. Tozer, quote from The Attributes of God: A Journey Into the Father's Heart
“Konuş benimle, tamam mı? Konuş. Monty? Böyle yapma. Bu bizim son gecemiz." "Bizim son gecemiz değil bu. Benim son gecem. Seninse yarından itibaren önünde bir dolu lanet olası gece var. Dışarı çıkabilir, bir avukatın içki ısmarlamasına izin verebilir, Hudson' da çırılçıplak yüzebilirsin. Önünde çok zamanın var."
...
Onun yarınları olacağını, kahkahalar atıp, dostlarıyla eğleneceğini, kaldırımlarda dolaşıp, vitrinlere bakacağını, lokantalarda akşam yemekleri yiyeceğini düşününce kendini çok yalnız hissediyordu. Sigarayı elinde tuttu ama yakmadı.
Bir an yalnızca kısacık bir an Naturelle' den şüphelenmemiş miydi? O çılgın anda kadının telefonla evde uyuşturucu gizlendiği ihbarını yapmış olabileceği aklından geçmemiş miydi? O düşünceyi hemen aklından uzaklaştırmıştı sonra da. Neden böyle bir şey yapsın ki? Beni ihbar etmekten ne çıkarı olabilir? Ama bir kez insanın aklına kurt düşmeye görsün, bir daha benzer düşünceler kolay kolay zihinden atılamıyordu. Kuşku inancı giderek kemiriyordu. Ona bir daha güvenebilecek miydi? Ve eğer seninle yatan kadına güvenemezsen, en savunmasız anlarında yanında olan kadına itimat edemezsen, dünyada kime güvenebilirsin ki?”
― David Benioff, quote from The 25th Hour

Standing for Somethi...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.
