“He was my strength when I needed him to be, my friend when I needed someone to talk me down, my equal in a world where by law I would always be less than him, and honest to gods, he was the love of my life.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from Sentinel
“I just don't want you to feel that way, because I love you. I'm in love with you. Forever and ever, and all the corny things I can attach to that.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from Sentinel
“Gods were like possums.
You could go your whole life without seeing one, but once you found one of them, you found the whole freaky family.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from Sentinel
“As we walked toward the dean's office, he reached over, trailing his fingers along my arm. "Do they still react when I touch you?"
Heat crawled through my veins, and I nodded. The marks had followed the path of his touch. "Yeah, they still like you."
One side of his lips curled up, and a look of male pride crossed his face. I shook my head. Boys.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from Sentinel
“My jaw dropped open. “Holy crows…”
“There’s a couple of eagles mixed in there,” Luke commented.
"And a few hawks,” Aiden added.
I rolled my eyes. “Okay. Holy birds of prey! Is that better?”
“Much,” Aiden murmured.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from Sentinel
“Oh, that flipped my bitch switch from meh to pure “I’m going to cut a bitch” rage.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from Sentinel
“Oh! You're one to talk!" I whirled on Apollo. "Seriously? If I was to Google 'irresponsible sexual activity', it would be your picture staring back at me!"
Apollo made a face at me—actually made a face at me like he was ten years old or something.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from Sentinel
“We need a plan," he replied.
"Wow," Seth folded his arms. "That's a unique concept."
"Seth," I hissed, shooting him a look.
"That's okay," Apollo replied, smiling at Seth in a wholly creepy "hide your kids" kind of way. "When you least expect it, I'm going to turn you into a pink flower that smells like cat pee.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from Sentinel
“Her eyes narrowed, and then her hand snaked out again. I forced myself to stand still and let her feel me up, because seriously, she didn't appear like she was going to stop until she did. She cupped my cheek and placed her other hand below my breasts, between my rips.
"Umm..." I was really starting to feel wigged out. "I really hope this has a point, because half the guys are staring at us like they're hoping we're going to make-out."
Aiden coughed.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from Sentinel
“Agapi mou, you are my everything.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from Sentinel
“Karma was a bitch and a half.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from Sentinel
“Some people say when life gives you lemons, you make lemonade. But when life gives you one seriously ticked off god gunning for your ass, you prepare for war and you hope for paradise.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from Sentinel
“Alex, open your eyes. Come on, baby, open those eyes."
I really wanted to, because for him I'd do anything. Fight a horse of half-blood daimons? There. Tangle with ticked-off furies? Sign me up. Break a dozen or so rules for one forbidden kiss? Done. Open my eyes? Apparently that was asking too much.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from Sentinel
“Hey, I’m kidding. And I’m also curious why’d you do that. The sun rises and sets out of Aiden’s ass, according to you.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from Sentinel
“Hades will be here in twenty minutes," Apollo announced from somewhere way too close to the bed. "Either speed this up or pick it up later, kids."
"Oh my gods," I whispered, horrified.
"Oh, and I hope you two are being responsible," Apollo added.
And then he was gone. There was a muffled, hoarse shout from a room nearby.
"Damn him," Aiden muttered, dropping his head onto my shoulder. He shuddered. "Damn him to the Underworld and back again."
My cheeks burned. "A bell—the first chance we get, we are buying him a bell.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from Sentinel
“Okay. I’ll admit, I slept or doodled through most of my classes. I have no idea who you’re talking about.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from Sentinel
“Vegas.
I was in Vegas with a Titan who needed to get drunk and laid.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from Sentinel
“What is it with gods and leather?” I muttered.
Hades slid me a long look. “We make it look good.”
They did. Couldn’t argue that.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from Sentinel
“Poor Persephone." He stared down his nose at the god. "That must be hard on her if that’s what gets you off."
I wrinkled my nose.
"If her name drips from your forked tongue one more time, I will rip it out," Hades promised, voice deadly low.
Was his tongue really forked?
His lips curled up on one side. "What? You don’t like me talking about your wife?" He looked over at the three of us. "Is abduction as a means of marriage still all the rage these days?"
Seth arched a brow.
"Uh… no,” I said, shaking my head. "It’s really frowned upon.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from Sentinel
“Hey." I folded my arms, trying to keep my own eyes on her face. "Aren't you supposed to be a virgin goddess?"
A soft, tinkling laughing came from her. "Honey, have you ever heard of kiss and don't tell?"
"Have you ever heard of a bra?" I demanded. "Because I can see your... you know. Everything.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from Sentinel
“My uncle recovered first, stepping forward. "Are you okay, Alexandria?"
"Other than the fact I just spewed out two gods like a drunk college chick? I'm feeling fabulous.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from Sentinel
“Then he turned to Seth. "And don't think you and me are okay. It's great you're no longer Ares' little bitch-boy, but you're still a punk-ass.
Aiden snickered.
"And I hope your jaw really hurts," Apollo added.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from Sentinel
“And I was normally a pretty emotional person. In any given day, I experienced a hundred different things like I was trying ice cream flavors.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from Sentinel
“But it was Seth's decision, and it cannot be undone. And when you go topside in six months, you should find him and thank him."
I was actually going to hug and squeeze and love the dude. Then smack him. And then hug and squeeze and love him again.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from Sentinel
“Okay," I sighed, interrupting before a battle of wills erupted. "So we will have to scout the wall first. We can-Apollo!"
The god looked up. In his hands, the Newton balls knocked off of each other once more. "What?" he asked.
"What?" I shot him an annoyed look. "Seriously. Have you've never seen a Newton's Cradle before? Every time you move the first ball, it's going to move the rest of the balls."
"No." His gaze dipped to the cradle. "Gravity is cool."
"Oh my gods," I moaned, slumping in my seat. "My brain hurts."
Apollo let go of the silver ball once more, and then placed the cradle on the edge of Marcus' desk.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from Sentinel
“Sometimes I worry for you, Deacon,” he said, his lips curving up on one side.
“I ain’t who you should be worrying about.” Deacon jerked his head at me. “Little Miss ‘I Gotta Be A Martyr’ over there is the one you should be concerned with.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from Sentinel
“I think he was worried about pushing things too far for the time being since I was obviously rocking a first-class ticket to certifiable insanity.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from Sentinel
“It was so quiet you could hear a fly run into a wall. Everyone was staring at me like I’d just pulled up my shirt and asked for some beads.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from Sentinel
“The first things I saw upon dying were Persephone's breasts and nipples. Or at least one nipple, but there was definitely a nipple.
Something seemed wrong about that being the first thing I saw in the afterlife.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from Sentinel
“That was so Resident Evil,” Luke said, his eyes wide. “Awesome”
I cracked a grin, a little breathless. “It was kind of Alice awesome, wasn’t it?”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from Sentinel

New York DeadBookQuoters 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.
