“You’re an ass,” I spat, picking up the shirt.
He chuckled. “And it’s a fine ass, I’m told.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from Stone Cold Touch
“You’re a pervert,” I said, fighting a grin.
Roth shrugged. “Of all the things someone could call me, that’s hardly the worst.”
“And probably the most true,”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from Stone Cold Touch
“The loss of innocence refers to carnal sin and it's not like you have to do the deed to experience the pleasure of sin. Correct?!..
Cayman dipped his chin.
'In other words, all she needed to do was to have an orgasm..And most likely not by herself.'
..Someone kill me now!
..'Well.' Roth drew the word out.'This is awkward.'
I slowly lowered my hands.'You think?”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from Stone Cold Touch

― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from Stone Cold Touch

“Nah, I think I’m sexy.” The smirk spread, but it didn’t reach his cool ocher eyes. “And I also think I’m hilarious.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from Stone Cold Touch

― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from Stone Cold Touch

I'd only kissed one boy in my entire life.
And he'd been a demon.
So...”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from Stone Cold Touch
“He rounded the table, shrugging out of his zipped hoodie. “You want some of this?”
Stuff always got real when the clothes started to come off.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from Stone Cold Touch
“I smelled like an Upper Level demon. Roth was back and he was relatively unharmed. A Lilin had been born. Apparently an orgasm was apocalyptic.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from Stone Cold Touch
“I got you," Roth, said, propping me up. "Always." Always. The word bounced around inside me like a Ping-Pong ball.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from Stone Cold Touch

― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from Stone Cold Touch
“He looked up grinning. This one is Bluebelle and that one, he gestured at the one that smelled my leg, is Flower.
I made a face. What is with you and the movie Bambi? He stood up fluidly. It's an American classic.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from Stone Cold Touch
“I'm saying that what we did isn't going to happen again. That's what I'm saying.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from Stone Cold Touch
“At the thought of him, knots twisted in my stomach, a mixture of lingering hurt, the vapid bite of confusion...and guilt. My hands curled helplessly in my lap. I hated feeling that way--hated that I was still affected by Roth and that I could feel fault in any of this. He was the one who'd pushed me away...pushed me right into the arms of Zayne,
Which were very nice arms, I thought, staring at his biceps.
I felt like a total creeper.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from Stone Cold Touch
“And I know things are...screwed up between us. I know that. Even if you tell me you'd rather hump a Nightcrawler's leg than forgive me, I'm still going to be there for you."
I pushed myself onto my elbows." You're going to go against Hell-against your boss?
He grinned as he shrugged. "Yes."
"Why would you risk that?"
His eyes met mine. " You know the reason, deep down, you know.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from Stone Cold Touch
“I meeped something to the affirmative, and then flew out into the hall. My entire body was flaming as I pressed one hand against my still-tingling lips and the image of Zayne's behind emblazoned itself into my eye sockets.
He had a great ass.
And from what I'd seen, he wasn't hurting in any other department either.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from Stone Cold Touch
“And in art class, he will discover that he's interested in boobs. Wish me luck."
"Good luck." I eyed her cleavage. "not that you need it."
She winked. "I know.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from Stone Cold Touch
“flowed through me. He didn’t pull away. It seemed as though he was straining forward, his upper body already over the gearshift”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from Stone Cold Touch
“It wasn’t necessary to tell you,” Abbot responded in a clipped voice.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from Stone Cold Touch
“I shrugged. “Actually, I didn’t tell her much of anything. She must’ve put two and two together all on her own and come up with you being a jerk face.”
His gaze slid back to me and he grinned. “Ouch, shortie.”
“Yeah, like that really bothered you.” I glanced back through the small window in the door that led to bio. Mr. Tucker was already at his desk—was Mrs. Cleo ever coming back?—and we only had a minute, tops, before the tardy bell rang. “What did you want?”
Reaching into his pocket, he pulled out a thin slip of yellow paper, waving it in my face. “Guess what I found?”
“Obviously not a better personality,” I remarked.
“Ha. Funny.” He brushed the edge of the paper across my nose and smiled when I smacked it away.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from Stone Cold Touch
“The demon?" Roth scoffed. "That's 'Your Highness' to you.”

“I have built a city from the books I've read. A good book sings a a timeless music that is heard in the choir lofts, and balconies, and theaters that thrived within that secret city inside me.”

“This isn’t something I had planned to talk about so soon,” her grandmother said as they entered the gardens. “I wanted to wait awhile longer to give you a chance to demonstrate that you were ready, that you had listened to what I told you about growing up and making mature decisions. I wanted you to season a little more. But we don’t always get what we want in this life. In fact, we don’t get what we want most of the time. We get compromises and settlements, half measures and tamped-down dreams. We get half a loaf baked, half a glass filled. That’s what we have here.”
Phryne nodded, having no idea what she was talking about. “That might be so, but we don’t have to like it.”
“We shouldn’t have to accept it, either. Mostly, we don’t. We understand the odds are against us, but we still strive for something more. We make our best effort each time out because now and then we get exactly what we want.”
― Terry Brooks, quote from Bearers of the Black Staff

Black Elk Speaks: Be...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.
