“I missed talking to you, and playing with you, and touching you, and seeing you smile. I missed just … sitting next to you. I’ve never missed anyone or anything that much”
“With you, it means everything, because you hold my heart in your hands.”
“His head lowers so he's looking in my eyes. "I'm completely in love with you.”
“And when you love someone like I loved your father, you're willing to walk through hell with that person because they're worth it.”
“It's not like it was before, because Aron changed the shape of my heart.”
“I'm scared of a lot of things. That's no reason to try.”
“Would you stay and be next to me, just because I need you close?”
He looks down at my fingers twining with his … “There’s no way I could say no.”
“Can I answer your unspoken ‘what if.’ With ‘I’ll be there’?”
“scary amazing terrifying hot crazy wild awful out-of-control.”
“Once again I’m left wondering how he does things to my body without even touching it. Heaven help me if he actually does.”
“The gauzy skirt that flutters in strips over my hips and thighs provides the illusion of risqué without actually threatening to reveal my lacy panties to the world. Those are meant for Aron’s eyes only, but only if he asks nicely. And by nicely, I mean I’m fantasizing about him begging. While on his knees. And maybe naked.”
“I feel more for you than ever have for anyone, and anything we do together isn’t me using you!” He squeezes his eyes shut and sets his forehead on mine. “It’s me giving myself to you.”
“The only way I’ll end up disappointed is if I can’t make you come in my arms”
“The ranks of the Marines were now diluted with reservists, at least 50 percent. Few of them were mentally prepared to fight, or physically hardened to war. Inch’on, luckily, had been easy. But now, on the frozen hills above Yudam-ni, the Marines, regular and reservist alike, faced reality. Because their officers were tough-minded, because their discipline was tight, and because their esprit—that indefinable emotion of a fighting man for his standard, his regiment, and the men around him, was unbroken—weak and strong alike, they would face it well.”
“him. I sped home, calling her phone repeatedly only to hear her voicemail time after time. I barreled through the front door, half expecting to find Erica there. But the house was quiet and dark. I went to the kitchen, explored every room on”
“If Allah has willed it that way... He must have better plans for you child...”
“I lost my religion about the same time I lost my city. When it comes to war, people tend to go one of two ways: either they find God, or they do away with him. I fell into the latter category.
I never blamed him, not like some of the others that gave up religion. They seemed more like jaded lovers than atheists. God just never was a man in my mind. He was food, shelter, safety, and—ultimately—peace. And when all that fled, I realized that my world no longer had a place for him.”
“You expected too much of me’ I told him, and he bowed his head. ‘I don’t know where you brought your grand ideas of men and women from. I don’t want to know’ I added hastily. But I must have been a prettier word that this’ I said: ‘are you quite sure that you were wise in leaving it?”
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.
