“Kim era infastidita dal fatto che l'intestazione dicesse ancora VITTIMA NUMERO UNO. Una volta quelle ossa erano state di una persona. Una persona in carne e ossa, magari con una voglia sulla pelle che la distingueva da tutti gli altri. Una persona con un volto e delle espressioni che erano solo sue. Non un semplice mucchio di ossa. Quella ragazza aveva trascorso nell'anonimato già fin troppo tempo e Kim detestava non essere ancora in grado di darle un nome”
― Angela Marsons, quote from Silent Scream
“Finalmente capiva l'empatia che provava per quella ragazza che conosceva solo da pochi giorni. Lucy era una combattente. Non si rassegnava di fronte alle carte che il destino le aveva assegnato. Ogni giorno lottava per vivere, contro tutti i pronostici. Quel giorno avrebbe potuto scegliere di non premere il pulsante. Avrebbe potuto cedere alla sua malattia e scegliere la pace eterna ma non l'aveva fatto e c'era solo una cosa che glielo aveva impedito: la speranza”

― Angela Marsons, quote from Silent Scream

“What Strider thinks of himself "He was too intense, too jaded, too warped and too...everything for most women to take for long. But so what. He was made of awesome. Anyone who couldn't see that wasn't smart enough to be with him, anyway.”

“could not even manage to reply. “It’s because I think it of vital importance that such scenes should be avoided in the future that I suggest we separate permanently with a view to seeking a divorce when it becomes possible for us to do so. I have no grounds for divorcing you, as I’m sure you realize, but if I leave you now and insist on remaining at Allengate without your consent you will eventually be able to seek a divorce on the grounds of adultery coupled with desertion. I believe the period of desertion has to be at least two years, so we would have to wait before commencing proceedings, but unfortunately since you cannot divorce me for adultery alone there’s no other alternative open to us. Now, I know divorce will mean a considerable amount of scandal and I’m sure a great many people will disapprove and be shocked, but I dare say most of the criticism will fall upon me and frankly I’m willing to endure a great deal to terminate this situation in the most expedient way available. You know and I know that our marriage is irrevocably finished. My one concern now is that we act in a way most beneficial to the children, and in my opinion”

Brutally BeautifulBookQuoters 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.
