“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.”
“You made me feel the need to be a better person. You, Synthia, you made me want to be a better man.”
“I love you,” I whispered.
“I love you too, Synthia. Forever will never be long enough with you.”
“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.”
“We take harm upon our own very harshly, and those who fuck with my family will get no mercy.”
“This is your love; it has to be. I can’t breathe. I can’t fucking breathe”
“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.”
“She’s my meal, but she no longer feeds from me.” “Try it anyway. Maybe find her a doughnut or something,”
“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.”
“I need no other man because my beautiful beast loves me. He is my equal, and mine. As I am his.”
“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,”
“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)”
“maybe you just want her to play with your Lego parts, and tinker with your big blue balls? Just once?” I said.”
“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.”
“Remind your council that the sins of the fathers aren’t that of the sons.”
“I avoided my own friends and acquaintances, yet the loneliness of my existence was insupportable.”
“Our acts our angels are, or good or ill,
Our fatal shadows that walk by us still.”
“How naïve to believe that there might be a single answer to every question. Every mystery. That there exists a lone, divine light that rules over everything. They say it is a light that brings truth and love. I say it is a light that blinds us—and forces us to stumble about in ignorance. I long for the day when men will turn away from invisible monsters, and once more embrace a more rational view of the world. But these new religions are so convenient—and promise such terrible punishment should one reject them—I worry that fear shall keep us stuck to what is truly the greatest lie ever told . . .”
“Life’s small details are the ones that interest me, anyway. The big questions are too hard to parse.”
“Mr Davis was a middle class tremble of a man worried about an unseemly display and his Jerry Springer moment”
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.
