“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
“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
“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!”
― Cecy Robson, quote from Sealed with a Curse
“There are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in your philosophy”
― Julia Gregson, quote from East of the Sun
“I should ha’e been the one to kill him,” Connall fretted. “Ye should ha’e let me do it.” Ewan shook his head. “I brought him into the world, I failed him somehow so he turned out that way, ’twas only right I took his life back.” He ran a hand wearily through his hair, and said, “I doonae ken where we went wrong. How he—” “Ye didnae go wrong, Ewan. Ye and Aileen were the best o’ parents,” Connall interrupted, then added helplessly, “Mayhap he was jest a bad seed.” “Aye. Mayhap.”
― Hannah Howell, quote from The Eternal Highlander

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.
