“If a tree falls in the forest when no one is around to hear it, does it still make a sound?
If I scream in the silence, will anyone be around to hear it?”
― quote from Screaming in the Silence
“All you care about is the control and power you have over me and I hate myself for giving that to you!”
― quote from Screaming in the Silence
“My feelings for Kaden, although confusing and admittedly self destructive, ran deeper than physical appearances. All the pain he caused me, all the terror I lived with, was nothing compared to the anxiety of not knowing what would happen if I were to find myself without him.”
― quote from Screaming in the Silence
“Could I really mean so much to this man? Could this mess of a human being in his arms be his everything?”
― quote from Screaming in the Silence
“Kaden still influenced almost everything I did. He was on my mind constantly yet I had learned to control him, push him to a corner where I could merely observe and feel his presence.”
― quote from Screaming in the Silence
“I love you, Kaden. Against my better judgement and sense, I love you and I'm making the conscious decision to keep loving you until the day I die.”
― quote from Screaming in the Silence
“Do you remember when time was working against us? When you said that our time together was limited? I needed you so desperately then. You protected me and gave me reason to hope, showed me that I was still human. I hated myself for giving you that dominance but at the end of the day, I know that it was what I needed... I needed to fall for you in order to save myself.”
― quote from Screaming in the Silence
“Its funny how something so scary and foreign can grow to feel so amazing. Think about you, loving you the way that I do, it used to be terrifying but now its almost liberating in a way. Does that make any sense?”
― quote from Screaming in the Silence
“Your enjoyment only adds to my pleasure, but don't forget that I'm forcing you to do this.”
― quote from Screaming in the Silence
“I was terrified of him but at the same time wanted him to desire me. I wanted him to care for me and protect me.”
― quote from Screaming in the Silence
“... the nose. It can be a nuisance in winter and such a blessing before a meal.”
― Richard Llewellyn, quote from How Green Was My Valley
“The full moon symbol on my calendar no longer seemed to be a period marking the end of something, but just another way of counting time.”
― Charlaine Harris, quote from Dead as a Doornail
“Intellectual 'work' is misnamed; it is a pleasure, a dissipation, and is its own highest reward. The poorest paid architect, engineer, general, author, sculptor, painter, lecturer, advocate, legislator, actor, preacher, singer, is constructively in heaven when he is at work; and as for the magician with the fiddle-bow in his hand, who sits in the midst of a great orchestra with the ebbing and flowing tides of divine sound washing over him - why, certainly he is at work, if you wish to call it that, but lord, it's a sarcasm just the same. The law of work does seem utterly unfair - but there it is, and nothing can change it: the higher the pay in enjoyment the worker gets out of it, the higher shall be his pay in cash also.”
― Mark Twain, quote from A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court
“He brushed my tears from my face. "How did I find you?”
― Tammara Webber, quote from Easy
“It would be something that another person had written down without understanding its significance; just a sentence or two that would be like a flash of light.”
― Jeanne DuPrau, quote from The City of Ember

My Fairy Godmother I...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.
