― Vi Keeland, quote from Stuck-Up Suit

― Vi Keeland, quote from Stuck-Up Suit
“My boyfriend recently asked me to marry him. I said yes. He’s the sweetest, kindest man I’ve ever known. Problem is, the diamond he gave me was smaller than I hoped for. I don’t really want to hurt his feelings. I need to know a polite way to express my disappointment. –Lori, Manhattan God has the same dilemma when it comes to you, sweetheart. P.S. When your fiancé dumps your selfish ass, give him my number. Answering”

“Both our dishes looked more like art when they arrived. “I hate to eat it; it’s so beautiful.” “I have the opposite problem. It’s so beautiful; I can’t wait to eat it.” His smirk told me his comment had nothing to do with his fancy looking dinner. I”

― Vi Keeland, quote from Stuck-Up Suit
“Не искам да съм сам, Сорая. Омръзна ми да съм сам. Искам те в проклетото ми легло тази вечер. Не трябва да правим нищо. Просто...искам да те държа в прегръдките си докато заспя.”
― Vi Keeland, quote from Stuck-Up Suit

“But that’s the very reason that I just know.”
“Know what?”
“That this could be the real thing.”
― Vi Keeland, quote from Stuck-Up Suit
“Gorgeous, arrogant and pissed off?” I chuckled a little. “Yes, that’s him.” “His name is Graham Morgan, and I know just where you should bring the phone.” I fished a pen from my purse. “Okay.” “Are you anywhere near the 1 train?” “I’m not too far.” “Okay. Well, hop on the 1 and take that all the way downtown. Pass Rector Street and get off at the South Ferry Terminal.” “Okay. I can do that.” “Once you’re off. Take a right on Whitehall and then a left on South Street.” I knew the area and tried to visualize the buildings around there. It was a pretty commercial neighborhood. “Won’t that take me to the East River?” “Exactly. Toss that asshole’s phone in, and forget you ever saw the man.” The phone line went dead.”
― Vi Keeland, quote from Stuck-Up Suit
“He’s a good man. Fiercely loyal and loves his family. Very protective of his heart. But once he gives it, he doesn’t take it back.”
“Thank you.”
“You can fix the rest. Pry the stick out of his ass and hit him over the head with it a few times. He’s smart. He’ll figure it out real quick.”
“Now that, I can do.”
― Vi Keeland, quote from Stuck-Up Suit

― Vi Keeland, quote from Stuck-Up Suit
“Не се страхувай да бъдеш наранена. По-добре е отколкото никога да не изпиташ нещо, което да те разтресе из основи. Дори временната радост е по-добре от нищо. Страх те е да не те наранят, както мен ме е страх да умра. Това не означава, че няма да изживея пълноценно всеки ден.”
― Vi Keeland, quote from Stuck-Up Suit
“Исках да я притежавам, но истината беше, че...тя вече притежаваше мен.”
― Vi Keeland, quote from Stuck-Up Suit
“I know what I want.”
“Graham…things can change.”
“I need you, Soraya. I’ve never said that to another woman in my life.” I leaned my forehead against her and whispered, “I need you.”

― Vi Keeland, quote from Stuck-Up Suit
“The only happy ending he’ll be getting is from me, bitch. A few minutes later, I’d been so preoccupied thinking about what those women were saying that I hadn’t noticed Graham sneak up behind me to plant a kiss on my neck. The gossipers had taken notice, though. Their eyes were practically bugging out of their heads. Their little happily-ever-after fantasy was quickly challenged by Graham’s public display of affection with someone they probably assumed was working the party. I couldn’t help myself when I turned to them and smiled. “Plot twist.”
― Vi Keeland, quote from Stuck-Up Suit
“You're afraid of getting hurt like I'm afraid to die. It doesn't mean I'm not going to live every day to its fullest.”
― Vi Keeland, quote from Stuck-Up Suit
“If you were with me, you wouldn’t care where your cell phone was. Soraya:”

― Vi Keeland, quote from Stuck-Up Suit
“You want to fight with me?
Graham tugged at his tie, loosening it. “I find it turns me on.”
― Vi Keeland, quote from Stuck-Up Suit
“I got you what I like since I wasn’t sure what you liked.”
“I’ll eat whatever you feed me.”
“In that case…”
A dirty grin crossed his face. “Don’t think I won’t hold you down on this couch and feast on you until my entire staff knows you’re a religious girl.”
― Vi Keeland, quote from Stuck-Up Suit
“Yes. You’re a cunt. C you next Tuesday, Dana! My”
― Vi Keeland, quote from Stuck-Up Suit
“Never in my life had I ever reacted to a man this way. Never had I felt so much fear and desire at the very same time.”

- И ти мен.
- Но това е причината да знам.
- Да знаеш какво.

“Some of my subjects do not know what is good for them,”
― Alison Weir, quote from The Lady Elizabeth
“Screens of tumbling water, breaking the world beyond them into glittering lines and smeared shadows. Kellhus had ceased trying to penetrate them.
“Power,” Anasûrimbor Moënghus said, “is always power over. When an infant may be either, what is the difference between a Fanim and an Inrithi? Or between a Nansur and a Scylvendi? What could be so malleable in Men that anyone, split between circumstances, could be his own murderer?
“You learned this lesson quickly. You looked across Wilderness and you saw thousands upon thousands of them, their backs bent to the field, their legs spread to the ceiling, their mouths reciting scripture, their arms hammering steel … Thousands upon thousands of them, each one a small circle of repeating actions, each one a wheel in the great machine of nations …
“You understood that when men stop bowing, the emperor ceases to rule, that when the whips are thrown into the river, the slave ceases to serve. For an infant to be an emperor or a slave or a merchant or a whore or a general or whatever, those about him must act accordingly. And Men act as they believe.
“You saw them, in their thousands, spread across the world in great hierarchies, the actions of each exquisitely attuned to the expectations of others. The identity of Men, you discovered, was determined by the beliefs, the assumptions, of others. This is what makes them emperors or slaves … Not their gods. Not their blood.
“Nations live as Men act,” Moënghus said, his voice refracted through the ambient rush of waters. “Men act as they believe. And Men believe as they are conditioned. Since they are blind to their conditioning, they do not doubt their intuitions …”
Kellhus nodded in wary assent. “They believe absolutely,” he said.”

“It’s best not to experiment on yourself. Bacon practically froze himself to death in one of his experiments and died of pneumonia.”
{Right! Bacon must be heated. Knew that already, but thanks for the reminder.}”

“I’ve never been more sorry in my life about anything.
… He dropped his forehead to mine and with a silky soft kiss, he gently parted my lips, working his velvety tongue against mine. “And I’m more than willing to spend the rest of my life making it up to you, because I love you, Tess. I am so fucking in love with you in a way I’ve never loved someone before.” His eyes glittered with hunger and love. “Please let me prove that to you. Please, Tess.”

Incognito: The Secre...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.
