“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.”
― Cecy Robson, quote from Sealed with a Curse
“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.”
― Cecy Robson, quote from Sealed with a Curse
“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?”
― Cecy Robson, quote from Sealed with a Curse
“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”
― Cecy Robson, quote from Sealed with a Curse
“Mind your own business, you goddamn raisin with legs!" Taran screamed from inside the house.”
― Cecy Robson, quote from Sealed with a Curse
“A small smirk found its way to my lips. Luke Skywalker could suck it. He had nothing on Shayna.”
― Cecy Robson, quote from Sealed with a Curse
“They tried their best. Shayna and Emme crawled along their bellies in true Rambo-meets– Bridget Jones style”
― Cecy Robson, quote from Sealed with a Curse
“...smiled so sweetly at Liam, I feared the poor sap might need insulin.”
― Cecy Robson, quote from Sealed with a Curse
“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.”
― Cecy Robson, quote from Sealed with a Curse
“...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.”
― Cecy Robson, quote from Sealed with a Curse
“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.”
― Cecy Robson, quote from Sealed with a Curse
“Yet curiosity grabbed stubbornness by the throat and pimp-slapped it a few times.”
― Cecy Robson, quote from Sealed with a Curse
“She tried to complain, but couldn’t hide that siren grin that made males trip over their erections.”
― Cecy Robson, quote from Sealed with a Curse
“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.”
― Cecy Robson, quote from Sealed with a Curse
“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!”

“The ashes of your existence will fertilize the soil for the universe to follow.”
― Richard Kadrey, quote from Sandman Slim
“As members of my cabinet," Alyss calmly explained, "you share in the responsibilty of ensuring a safe furture for Wonderland. I'm sure the four of you will agree that we're in a crisis and that trying times bring out the best in you. What queen wouldn't want such helpful cabinet members by her side in an hour of need? Forgive me for calling you here. I was thinking only of myself and others when I did it. But for the love of your rank if nothing else, advise me. How do you think we should conter this invasion?"
Uh," said the Lady of Clubes.
I know exactly how we should counter it! said her husband. "First and foremost, a decree must be at once...decreed! All ranking families are to remain indoors and well-protected until it can be guaranteed that every threat is violence is past! It's imperative that nothing inconvenient happen to us, for the population would then have no one to look up to!”
― Frank Beddor, quote from Seeing Redd
“If you think of someone’s good qualities as the umeboshi in an onigiri it’s as if their qualities are stuck to their back! People around the world are like onigiri. Everyone has an umeboshi with a different shape and color and flavor. But because it’s stuck on their back they might not be able to see their umeboshi. “There’s nothing special about me. I’m just white rice.” That’s not true. There is an umeboshi on your back. Maybe the reason people get jealous of each other is because they can see so clearly the umeboshi on other people’s backs…even now someone might be envying another for something they don’t see in themselves. They might be longing for a quality they already possess. When I think of it that way even just a little I realize that I need to do my best with the qualities I have, even if I can’t always see what they are.”
― Natsuki Takaya, quote from Fruits Basket: The Complete Collection
“It is possible that his curiosity was piqued, for with the exception of a hen-turkey, a boy of nineteen is the most openly curious biped alive. From twenty until death he tries to conceal it.”

“I knew it was going to be a process for us to put things behind us, but I was willing to be patient. When I looked at him, I saw everything I wanted. That was enough.”

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.
