“She slumped a little when she saw me and shot the wolves a siren grin.
“You’re so screwed,” she declared.
“My sister is going to kick your asses!” ….
The wolves hackles collectively rose as they set their diabolic sights on me.
They moved as a single unit away from Taran and toward their newest prey.
Thanks, Taran.”
“Misha didn’t appear taken by her charm. He eyed her as if she’s asked him to make her a garlic pizza in the shape of a cross. I laughed: I couldn’t help it. Leave it to Shayna to try to befriend the guy who’ll probably suck us dry by sundown.”
“I really like it, " he murmured once more.
Say something. Anything. Tell him you love him and want to have his puppies. "Haven't you ever had tea before?”
“Are you all right?''
I nodded my damn chicken head and prayed prayed like the world and all the victims of war, famine, and disease counted on it. God… please dont let me lay an egg. Not now”
“Mind your own business, you goddamn raisin with legs!" Taran screamed from inside the house.”
“A small smirk found its way to my lips. Luke Skywalker could suck it. He had nothing on Shayna.”
“They tried their best. Shayna and Emme crawled along their bellies in true Rambo-meets– Bridget Jones style”
“...smiled so sweetly at Liam, I feared the poor sap might need insulin.”
“I could. I don’t think Dan can. He’s trying to bang some biochemist working in the research lab next to his. For his sake, I hope she’s as hot as he claims. His last lay could scare Christ off the cross.”
“...the putrid carnal waste dump my skin and hair had become. An irate woman beating me with her placenta would have been more welcome than the copious amount of...snot gluing my fingers together.”
“Celia Wird, have you no shame? Standing out there half-naked, flashing those young boys like some kind of streetwalker!"
Aric's dark brows shot up to his crown. "What the fu--"
"Mind your own business, you goddamn raisin with legs!" Taran screamed from inside the house.
Mrs. Mancuso flipped me off, of course. Bren flashed her a panty-dropping grin. "It's okay, Mrs. M. I'll be sure to take Celia to confession later so Father O'Callaghan can slap the sin out of her."
"Be sure that you do." Mrs. Mancuso gave Bren an approving nod, and me another stiff one. Aric remained fixed to my front walkway. He may have been a guardian of the earth, but I doubted he'd ever encountered evil the likes of Mrs. Mancuso.”
“Yet curiosity grabbed stubbornness by the throat and pimp-slapped it a few times.”
“She tried to complain, but couldn’t hide that siren grin that made males trip over their erections.”
“Bren pulled me close and chuckled in my ear. "Damn, kid. Are you in trouble." That was bad enough. His next comment was worse. "Don't worry, Aric. Celia and I don't have sex as much as we used to.”
“Why is your face all red, Celia? You hot or something?"
"Liam," Koda growled. Go put on some clothes."
Liam spoke between chews. "Why it's warm in here."
"Because the girls weren't raised among beings that are frequently naked."
Understanding spread across Liam's boyish features. He shook his head. "Celia, you have to get over your modesty. The body is a gift. Here, take off your clothes so you can see how freeing--"
I threw my spatula in the sink. "Go upstairs, Liam. And don't come back down until you put on some damn pants!”
“I'm serious," she said. "I read your articles. They are written by a man who has come to the end of his life, to the end of his hopes."
"That is a sign of youth," I answered. "The young today don't believe that someday they'll be old: they are convinced they'll die young. Old men are the real youngsters of our generation. They at least can brag about having had what we do not have: a slice of life called youth.”
“and the Mark Watney, out of Mars.”
“I am normal. I belong. I have a friend who can kick ass from a wheelchair. I live independently and get good grades. I'm an excellent lover.
Like I said. I'm awesome. I'm Emmet David Washington. Train Man. The best autistic Blues Brother on the block.”
“LOVE i saw a very old man buying pads for a woman today. that’s the kind of love i want. old man buying feminine hygiene products kind of love.”
“also been so cheap with myself that it ended up costing”
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.
