“Lucern felt himself "She called my erections wonderful?"
Entienne just gaped, then raised a fist to knock on his brother's forehead as if it were a door "Hello! Earth calling Luc! She thinks it's rigor mortis.”
― Lynsay Sands, quote from Single White Vampire
“Did you see that? Buffy just staked that poor vampire. He had yet to even do anything untowared, he just crawled out of his grave and she staked him. That is just not right. She is taking out her problems with that Angel fellow on a vampire, that is what she is doing.”
― Lynsay Sands, quote from Single White Vampire
“ 'Dear Mr. Argeneau,'" she began. " 'I haven't read Love Bites, One, but I will, I guarantee it. I just finished Love Bites, Two, and thought it was wonderful. Etienne was so sweet and funny and sexy that I fell in love with him even as Rachel did. He's my dream man.'" Kate paused and glanced up expectantly. "What would you say to those letters?"
That was easy enough. "Etienne is taken."
-Kate and Lucern”
― Lynsay Sands, quote from Single White Vampire
“See, you have to marry me. I seem to scare off all the help.”
― Lynsay Sands, quote from Single White Vampire
“Kate," Lucern interrupted.
"What?" she asked warily.
"I do not need blood." He tugged her off balance and into his lap. "All I need is you.”
― Lynsay Sands, quote from Single White Vampire
“As a child, Kate hat once asked her mother how she would know she was in love. Her mother had said she would know she was in love when she would be willing to give up chocolate forever to be with that person for even an hour. Kate, a dedicated and hopeless chocoholic, had decided right then that she would never fall in love. She had been sure that no male was worth such privation.”
― Lynsay Sands, quote from Single White Vampire
“Lucern was worth giving up chocolate. Dark chocolate, white chocolate, milk chocolate - she would happily give it all up for him.”
― Lynsay Sands, quote from Single White Vampire
“I am fine," Lucern muttered as she settled him into a chair. He found her concern rather annoying. If she was too nice to him, he might feel guilted into being nice back.”
― Lynsay Sands, quote from Single White Vampire
“Shh,” she said sternly, as if Luc had been the one who’d just let out the caterwaul.”
― Lynsay Sands, quote from Single White Vampire
“The woman on the bed was old, her life was fading as the mist rose. She thought of her mother as already in the grave; and she would not let herself be strangled by the hands of the dead. “I’m going, Ma,” she said. “I got to go.”
― James Baldwin, quote from Go Tell It on the Mountain
“I have resolved that each morning when I wake up from now on, I will take three long breaths and think about each of them as I draw them in and let them out, and I will remember that time at the end of that rope when I could not draw such breaths. And then I will look at the blue veins in my wrists and will know that my blood is running through them, and for that I will be grateful. Amen. The”
― L.A. Meyer, quote from Bloody Jack
“مؤسف أنك غير قادر على الكلام. كنا سنحاول فهم ذلك معا. ما الذي جعل دون فرويلان يحتفظ بولاء كلبي لتروخييو؟ لقد بقى مخلصا حتى النهاية، مثلك. فهو لم يشارك في المؤامرة، ولم تفعل ذلك أنت أيضا. واصل لحس يد الزعيم بعد تبجحه في باراهونا بأنه ضاجع زوجته. الزعيم الذي جعله يلف ويدور في أميركا الجنوبية، ليزور بلدانا كوزير خارجية للجمهورية. وينتقل من بوينس آيرس إلى كاراكاس، ومن كاراكاس إلى ريو أو برازيليا، ومن برازيلبا إلى مونتيفيديو، ومن مونتيفيديو إلى كاراكاس، لمجرد أن يواصل الزعيم مضاجعة جارتنا الجميلة باطمئان.
انها صورة تحاصر اورانيا منذ زمن طويل، تسبب لها الضحك والسخط. صورة وزير الدولة للعلاقات الخارجية في العهد وهو يصعد ويهبط من طائرات. ليجوب العواصم الأمريكية الجنوبية. منصاعا لأوامر مستعجلة تنتظره في كل مطار، لكي يواصل ذلك الطريق الهستيري. مزعجا الحكومات بذرائع فارغة. وكل ذلك من أجل ألا يعود إلى مدينة تروخييو بينما الزعيم يضاجع زوجته. وهذا ما يرويه كراسويلر نفسه. أبرزكتاب سيرة حياة تروخييو. أي أن الجميع كانوا يعرفون ذلك. ودون فرويلان نفسه أيضا.
أهناك ما يستحق كل ذلك يا أبي؟ أكان الوهم بالتمتع بالسلطة؟ أحيانا أفكر أن لا. وأن الازدهار كان أمرا ثانويا. وأنكم في الحقيقة. أنت، وأرالا، وبيتشاردو، وتشيرينوس، وألفاريث بينا، ومانويل ألفونسو، كنتم تستلذون التلوث بالقذارة. وأن تروخييو قد أخرج من أعماق أرواحكم ميلا مازوشيا، ككائنات تحتاج إلى من يبصق عليها، يهينها، لأنها بالتحقير تجد ذواتها.”
― Mario Vargas Llosa, quote from The Feast of the Goat
“The demons were scary, but girls - Well, girls are really terrifying”
― Darren Shan, quote from Lord Loss
“We all die. The goal isn't to live forever, the goal is to create something that will.”
― Chuck Palahniuk, quote from Diary
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.
