“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.”

“And even if it felt like Mam hated me, she had to love me, didn’t she? She had to love me, because she was my mam, and Susan was just somebody who got stuck taking care of Jamie and me because of the war.”
― Kimberly Brubaker Bradley, quote from The War that Saved My Life
“My husbands weren't any of them bad men, I was the problem. Marriage seemed like such a small space whenever I was in it. I liked the getting married. Courtship has a plotline. But there's no plot to being married. Just the same things over and over again. Same fights, same friends, same things you do on a Saturday. The repetition would start to get to me.
And then I couldn't fit my whole self into a marriage, no matter who my husband was. There were parts of me that John liked, and different parts for the others, but no one could deal with all of me, So I'd lop some part off, but then I'd start missing it, wanting it back. I didn't really fall in love until I had that first child.”
― Karen Joy Fowler, quote from The Jane Austen Book Club
“As time passed, Michael lost a little faith that he would ever have the love he wanted.”
― Anne Rice, quote from Mayfair Witches Collection
“A great ring of pure & endless light
Dazzles the darkness in my heart
And breaks apart the dusky clouds of night.
The end of all is hinted in the start.
When we are born we bear the seeds of blight;
Around us life & death are torn apart,
Yet a great ring of pure and endless light
Dazzles the darkness in my heart.
It lights the world to my delight.
Infinity is present in each part.
A loving smile contains all art.
The motes of starlight spark & dart.
A grain of sand holds power & might.
Infinity is present in each part,
And a great ring of pure and endless light
Dazzles the darkness in my heart.”
― Madeleine L'Engle, quote from A Ring of Endless Light
“Fear corrodes our confidence in God's goodness. We begin to wonder if love lives in heaven. If God can sleep in our storms, if his eyes stay shut when our eyes grow wide, if he permits storms after we got on his boat, does he care? Fear unleashes a swarm of doubts, anger-stirring doubts. Fear at its center, is a perceived loss of control.”
― Max Lucado, quote from Fearless: Imagine Your Life Without Fear

If You DeceiveBookQuoters 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.
