“You are dawn and she is midnight. And despite the mist of the half-light, together you see more clearly in the dusk.”
― Samantha Young, quote from Shades of Blood
“It was one thing to deal with monsters that were human in appearance. Another thing entirely to deal with humans who were monsters.”
― Samantha Young, quote from Shades of Blood
“It was pretty late and the streets were quiet so she was almost sure no one had seen her drag the soul eater into the alley... where she cut his head off with a samurai sword. God, she loved her life.”
― Samantha Young, quote from Shades of Blood
“I doubt even you can begin to understand the depths of her.”
― Samantha Young, quote from Shades of Blood
“No creo en los fantasmas, pero esta mujer tiene el aspecto de un fantasma, se mueve como un fantasma y habla como un fantasma, así que podemos estar de acuerdo en que hay fantasmas, aunque yo no crea en ellos”
― Christoph Marzi, quote from Heaven
“I'd always been willing. But I always fell short, every good intention I ever had never good enough.”
― A.L. Jackson, quote from When We Collide
“Emme, baby, talk to me.”
“I want this,” I whispered.
And I did. Badly…
“Good. You got it.”
― Kristen Ashley, quote from Kaleidoscope
“don’t fast, I will never go on any pilgrimage, and I drink wine — and what’s more, the air that makes it better. To cry out that I’m free, and that God is a question, not an answer, and that I want to meet him alone, at my death as at my birth.”
― Kamel Daoud, quote from The Meursault Investigation
“I was just wishing for you," he said. "And here you are."
"Must be your lucky day, Ace."
"Eve." He lifted a hand, not quite steady, skimmed his fingers along her jaw. "Eve," he said again, and his arms were around her, banded like steel as he lifted her off her feet. "Oh God. Eve."
She felt the shudder run through him as he buried his face in her hair, against the curve of her neck. And knew she'd been right to come. Whatever else there was, she'd been right to come.
"Everything's okay now." To soothe, she ran her hands over his back. "It's okay."
"You landed in a field of cows, in a jet-copter."
"You're telling me?"
He rubbed his hands up and down her arms before linking them with hers and easing back to look at her face. "You must love me madly."
"I must."
His eyes were wild and beautiful, his lips warm and tender as he pressed them to her cheeks. "Thank you."
"You're welcome, but you missed a spot." She found his mouth with hers and let him sink in. When she felt the heat, the punch, her lips curved against his. "That's better.”
― J.D. Robb, quote from Portrait in Death
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.
