“Time is precious. Waste it wisely.”
“Welcome to the estrogen vortex, dude, where mindfucks are the norm and understanding them is as common as a fucking unicorn in your front yard.”
“You don’t get to choose the people that care about you. You don’t get to make choices for others, tell them how to feel or, better yet, block them out because of what you think they’ll go through.”
“It’s okay to use my boy when you need strength. His back won’t break if you do, but his heart just might break if you don’t.”
“Voodoo, bro. Don’t knock it till you try it.”
“Ha. Now you’re all for it when a year ago you fought it every step of the way.”
“Fought it until I realized a voodoo pussy is a grown man’s Lucky Charms.”
Why the hell is he talking about cereal? “Come again?”
His flashes me a grin. “Magically delicious.”
I don’t even fight the laugh that falls from my mouth. Colton Donavan at his finest. “You are so fucked in the head.”
“Time is precious. Waste it wisely.” She”
“My Becks here is a good man. . . . I’m all for him ruining your lipstick, but if he ruins your mascara, you need to come let his mom know so I can put him back in his place.”
“Life begins at the end of your comfort zone, Had. I know you’re scared, but push through it. You just might miss the opportunity to live again.”
“Haddie, everything about you makes me want to beg to take you...to fuck you into oblivion so thoroughly that you forget your own name because you're so goddamn busy moaning mine”
“I don’t walk away from the people I love without a fight, and damn it to hell, Haddie Montgomery, you’d better prepare for that fight because I’m in love with you.”
“I did warn you Ry had a hot friend. I guess you decided to dip your thermometer in and take her temperature.”
“You’re a sick fuck!”
“You wouldn't want me any other way.”
“I shouldn’t be surprised. What the heart wants, the heart takes … even when it knows its owner won’t allow it.”
“Haddie, you can’t close yourself off forever. A life without passion and love is like slowly freezing to death.”
“He taught me that when it comes to men, there are only three moods to be had: fuck you, fuck off, and fuck me.”
“Humans are drawn to each other’s rough edges.”
“All I know is that protecting someone from the truth is just another way of shutting them out.”
“Time is precious, waste it wisely”
“The problem is that when you purposely want to forget someone, you remember them the most.”
“That’s the fix for all of this? Eat Kisses?” I laugh, wishing life were just that easy: all things fixable with chocolate.”
“She’s like that first taste of something you can’t have — that priceless sip of Macallan poured neat—and no matter how many times you’re lucky enough to get just a splash more, it’s never enough to get you drunk...
The sip of Macallan that ruins you for all others.”
“Wild keeps a man on his toes … causes him to always pay attention, not take a single thing for granted. When a man gets complacent, he can lose sight of what matters most.”
“She’s hot and cold, but damn, when she’s hot, it’s scorching, and when she’s cold, it’s arctic.”
“A life without passion and love is like slowly freezing to death.”
“I may be too cynical to believe in love at first sight, Montgomery, but I believe in the click that happens between two people.”
“I’m focused on the sky above us. The clouds float there so nicely, form a set of shapes, and then float some more to change to a different one. Wouldn't it be so easy to be like that—change, shift, adjust — without so much as a thought of the next storm about to roll in threatening to decimate you.”
“This is the best and worst part about having a friend who’s so close to you. You know what to expect from them, and they know what to do to get a reaction out of you.”
“There is something about saying a hard truth aloud that makes it both more real and more cathartic.”
“And each alert, each ding, was like adding salt to my open wound because lying to someone else is one thing, but lying to yourself is impossible.”
“Run all you want, Haddie,” he murmurs, his deep cadence a strong sound against the white noise around us, “but you’re going to find yourself all tangled up in those dangling ends you refuse to tie to something. . . . Who’s going to rescue you then?”
“Here’s to nipples, because without them, tits would be fucking pointless.”
“Suspense is simply the dramatization of a film’s narrative, or if you will, the most intense presentation possible of dramatic situations.”
“I know she's weird. Her friends know she's weird. And we all accept it because she's weird, but also amazing.”
“Scientists can talk about human nature,but only poets can free those feelings we keep in the pent heart”
“He was said to ride hallooing through the night, to be ready to shoot, hunt, or swim anywhere in any weather, to be able to drink half a dozen young lieutenants from nearby garrisons under the table, to wake up his occasional guests by firing a pistol through their bedroom windows, to have seduced every peasant girl in all the villages, to have released a fox in a lady’s drawing room.”
“So I wait for him because I always have, because out of all the moments that went wrong, I think there were just as many that went right, just as much love and heat and want as hurt, disappointment, and cruelty. I want to believe there's a balance here, that out of this tragedy will come some good, and there will be a happy ending.”
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.
