“Morning's great that way. You can cry yourself to sleep and wake up wondering what the fuss was over.”
― Terri Farley, quote from Seven Tears Into the Sea
“It never seemed fair that just when you're old enough to do anything you want, you can't. You have to start working, so there's no time. And if there is time, you're not working, so there's no money.”
― Terri Farley, quote from Seven Tears Into the Sea
“Beckon The Sea,
I'll Come To The....
Shed Seven Tears,
Perchance Seven Years....”
― Terri Farley, quote from Seven Tears Into the Sea

― Terri Farley, quote from Seven Tears Into the Sea
“Courtship? Had I said courtship? What did I think, that this was Jane freakin' Eyre?”
― Terri Farley, quote from Seven Tears Into the Sea
“I was doing it again, and I do NOT ogle strangers.”
― Terri Farley, quote from Seven Tears Into the Sea
“It's true that the two halves were no longer hinged. They weren't clinging to each other, but each was a cream-colored wing with a rosy flush inside. I held one half in each hand. If I took this shell across the room or across the universe, and the other one stayed here, they'd still be two halves of a whole, and anyone would know they belonged together.”
― Terri Farley, quote from Seven Tears Into the Sea
“Waves broke, then sighed as if they were searching, not finding, then coming back, never giving up the search, returning again and again.”

“La justicia es un principio abstracto que afecta a todos, que permite, según cómo se interprete, absolver o condenar a todo ser humano: culpables los ministros, culpables los papas, culpables los santos y los herejes, culpables los revolucionarios y los reaccionarios. Culpables todos de haber traicionado, matado, errado. Culpables de haber envejecido y muerto. Culpables de haber sido superados y derrotados. Culpables todos ante el tribunal universal de la moral histórica y absueltos por el de la necesidad. Justicia e injusticia sólo tienen un significado en lo concreto. De victoria o derrota, de acción realizada o padecida. Si alguien te ofende, si te trata mal, está cometiendo una injusticia; si, en cambio, te reserva un trato de favor, te hace justicia.”
― Roberto Saviano, quote from Gomorrah
“His expression became serious, and his hand almost slipped from mine. "I've had a long time to think about it."
"This can't work!"
He looked down, then jerked his head up in frustration as his finger tightened on mine. "I'm not asking you to marry me, Rachel. I just ..."
My heart pounded, and he stepped closer, so close the scent of cinnamon and wine enveloped me.
"I like walking into a room and seeing your face light up when you see me," he said earnestly, the sun from the open window making his hair glow. "I like arguing with Quen over the wisdom of employing a demon to be my security."
My throat caught. This wasn't going to happen, but something in me was withering. I wanted more--and I knew I couldn't have it.
He touched my hair, and I twitched as he tucked a strand of hair behind my ear. “I want to wake up beside you, see your curls on my pillow. I want a chance at falling in love.”
My breath came fast. That was what I wanted too, and it hurt more than I thought was possible to survive.”
― Kim Harrison, quote from The Undead Pool
“It’s really better this way, Ryan,” Paige said with a sympathy that made me nauseous.
“Better for who?” he asked her. “For Jamie? For me? Or maybe just better for you. I can’t believe you, Paige! You have no idea what she’s been
through! Pain like you could never imagine! And you’re throwing it in her face over and over again for what? Because I’d rather go out with her than
with you?
You call her the ice queen, but Jamie would never do something like that to anyone.”
“But look at what she’s doing to you,” Paige said.
“She’s done nothing but make me happy, and she’s had to turn her entire life around just to do it.
You guys are the ones doing all the damage!”
― Kelly Oram, quote from Being Jamie Baker
“A man hates the person he has wronged, paradoxically. I think it’s because the victim is a perpetual reminder that he behaved shamefully.”

My Heart and Other B...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.
