“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!”
― Cecy Robson, quote from Sealed with a Curse

“He (Thomas Smith) believed with complete conviction that no animal was permanently ruined. Every horse could be improved. He lived by a single maxim: 'Learn your horse. Each one is an individual, and once you penetrate his mind and heart, you can often work wonders with an otherwise intractable beast.”
― Laura Hillenbrand, quote from Seabiscuit: An American Legend
“Fancies are like shadows...you can't cage them, they're such wayward, dancing things.”
― L.M. Montgomery, quote from Anne of Avonlea
“But don't you see, all human decisions are made like this. Do you think the mother knows what will happen to the child in her womb? Dear God, we are lost, I tell you. What does it matter if you give it to me and it's wrong! There is no wrong! There is only desperation, and I would have it! I want to live forever with you.”
― Anne Rice, quote from The Queen of the Damned
“... And suddenly he thought, I'm the abnormal one now. Normalcy was a
majority concept, the standard of many and not the standard of just
one man.
Abruptly that realization joined with what he saw on their faces --
awe, fear, shrinking horror -- and he knew that they were afraid of
him. To them he was some terrible scourge they had never seen, a
scourge even worse than the disease they had come to live with. He was
an invisible spectre who had left for evidence of his existence the
bloodless bodies of their loved ones. And he understood what they felt
and did not hate them. His right hand tightened on the tiny envelope
of pills. So long as the end did not come with violence, so long as it
did not have to be a butchery before their eyes...
Robert Neville looked out over the new people of the earth. He knew he
did not belong to them; he knew that, like the vampires, he was
anathema and black terror to be destroyed. And, abruptly, the concept
came, amusing to him even in his pain.
A coughing chuckle filled his throat. He turned and leaned against the
wall while he swallowed the pills. Full circle, he thought while the
final lethargy crept into his limbs. Full circle. A new terror born in
death, a new superstition entering the unassailable fortress of
forever.
I am legend.”
― Richard Matheson, quote from I Am Legend and Other Stories
“As his mouth flooded with that horrible sweet purple taste, he could actually see those grapes dull, dusty, obese and nasty, crawling up a dirty stucco wall in a thick, syrupy sunlight that was silent except for the stupid buzz of many flies”

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.
