“This is your love; it has to be. I can’t breathe. I can’t fucking breathe without you, Synthia Raine. You weren’t supposed to leave me, Pet; that wasn’t the deal. I told you I would find you, damn you. How could you run from me in death where I cannot follow you? This isn’t right, but I get it now, you taught me. I know what love is, and it hurts. It’s tearing me apart, and I find I don’t enjoy it at all. Had you told me of this kind of pain, I’d have denied wanting it. I’d have lied if I could have. But if not feeling this pain meant never knowing you, I’d feel it again and again—just for you. I’d do it all again for one more moment with you.”
― Amelia Hutchins, quote from Seducing Destiny
“You made me feel the need to be a better person. You, Synthia, you made me want to be a better man.”
― Amelia Hutchins, quote from Seducing Destiny
“I love you,” I whispered.
“I love you too, Synthia. Forever will never be long enough with you.”
― Amelia Hutchins, quote from Seducing Destiny
“I should have spanked you harder,” Ryder growled.
“Wow, can I watch?” Aodhan said as he rounded the corner and interrupted our fight.
“No!” we both shouted as one.
“Damn, but I like bitches who like to be spanked. If you hit that sweet spot…they melt.”
I turned and glared at him.
Ryder growled, which was ten times scarier than my glare.”
― Amelia Hutchins, quote from Seducing Destiny
“We take harm upon our own very harshly, and those who fuck with my family will get no mercy.”
― Amelia Hutchins, quote from Seducing Destiny
“This is your love; it has to be. I can’t breathe. I can’t fucking breathe”
― Amelia Hutchins, quote from Seducing Destiny
“No woman could ever give me what you have,” he said softly. “I’ll spend eternity loving you, Synthia. And tormenting you in my bed, until you admit who your master is,” he finished.
“I have no master,” I whispered sleepily. “I’ll have a husband soon, and the love of my life. No master though,” I continued.
“I guess we’re not done here,” he replied roguishly.”
― Amelia Hutchins, quote from Seducing Destiny
“She’s my meal, but she no longer feeds from me.” “Try it anyway. Maybe find her a doughnut or something,”
― Amelia Hutchins, quote from Seducing Destiny
“Get on the bed, Pet, and show me what’s mine. Show me what I own, so I can show it exactly why it belongs to me. There’s a reason you belong to me, and it isn’t because I can brand you, or own you. It’s because when I fuck you, I make sure I do it good enough that when you look at another man, the only thing you can think about, is how sore your sweet flesh is from what I did to it.”
― Amelia Hutchins, quote from Seducing Destiny
“I need no other man because my beautiful beast loves me. He is my equal, and mine. As I am his.”
― Amelia Hutchins, quote from Seducing Destiny
“You were bound to ask it sooner or later. You know what they say about curiosity though, right?"
"That it killed the car?"
"No, it ate the pussy,”
― Amelia Hutchins, quote from Seducing Destiny
“There is no undoing it, there's only learning from it, becoming stronger because of I, and moving forward to better it
(they speak of past mistakes)”
― Amelia Hutchins, quote from Seducing Destiny
“maybe you just want her to play with your Lego parts, and tinker with your big blue balls? Just once?” I said.”
― Amelia Hutchins, quote from Seducing Destiny
“Let’s just get to the part where you call me an ass, and I admit that I was a good little solder back then, and then we go see what’s going on,” I said as I faced him.
“You’re an ass,” he said.
“Yes, I was a good little soldier, and did anything I could to help kill Fae, because – and stop me if you know this part – they killed my parents…or so I thought. Anything else you want? Do you need me to say sorry? Because you can hold your breath on that one.”
― Amelia Hutchins, quote from Seducing Destiny
“Remind your council that the sins of the fathers aren’t that of the sons.”
― Amelia Hutchins, quote from Seducing Destiny
“Their eyes met at the same instant moment, Therese glancing up from a box she was opening, and the woman just turning her head so she looked directly at Therese. She was tall and fair, her long figure graceful in the loose fur coat that she held open with a hand on her waist, her eyes were grey, colorless, yet dominant as light or fire, and, caught by them, Therese could not look away. She heard the customer in front of her repeat a question, and Therese stood there, mute. The woman was looking at Therese, too, with a preoccupied expression, as if half her mind were on whatever is was she meant to buy here, and though there were a number of salesgirls between them, There felt sure the woman would come to her, Then, Then Therese saw her walk slowly towards the counter, heard her heart stumble to catch up with the moment it had let pass, and felt her face grow hot as the woman came nearer and nearer.”
― quote from The Price of Salt
“Such a quintessentially Human thing, to express sorrow through apology.”
― Becky Chambers, quote from The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet
“- Galima gauti saulės smūgį, bet mėnulio smūgio negausi.”
― quote from Torture the Artist. Joey Goebel
“The deep secret of the brain is that not only the spinal cord but the entire central nervous system works this way: internally generated activity is modulated by sensory input. In this view, the difference between being awake and being asleep is merely that the data coming in from the eyes anchors the perception. Asleep vision (dreaming) is perception that is not tied down to anything in the real world; waking perception is something like dreaming with a little more commitment to what´s in front of you. Other examples of unanchored perception are found in prisoners in pitch-park solitary confinement, or in people in sensory deprivation chambers. Both of these situations quickly lead to hallucinations.”
― David Eagleman, quote from Incognito: The Secret Lives of the Brain
“I wonder if the snow loves the trees and fields, that it kisses them so gently? And then it covers them up snug, you know, with a white quilt; and perhaps it says, "Go to sleep, darlings, till the summer comes again.”
― Lewis Carroll, quote from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass
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.
