“Debbie often talked about Gretchen as if she was his mistress. But to Archie it sometimes felt like the other way around. As if, by moving back in with his ex-wife, he was cheating on Gretchen.
That was probably worthy of bringing up in therapy”
― Chelsea Cain, quote from Sweetheart
“I like to think of you not being able to end your suffering,' she said.
'I like to think of you not being able to satisfy your blood-lust,' he said.”
― Chelsea Cain, quote from Sweetheart
“His whole relationship with Gretchen was one long postcoital illusion”
― Chelsea Cain, quote from Sweetheart

“Taryn, I know being in a relationship with me comes with an entire set of stressors that normal people never have to deal with. But you cut that away and I'm still me. I'm just a man.”
― Tina Reber, quote from Love Unrehearsed
“ "I don't know. I spent most of my life moving around. My dad and I had just settled in one place when all this happened. I..." She shrugged. "I guess I'm hoping it doesn't last much longer. I want a home." She glanced over her shoulder. "I know you do, too, even if you don't like to admit it."
I thought she was talking to me. Then Derek stepped into the doorway.
"He wasn't eavesdropping," she said to me. "He just doesn't like me being alone with strangers in the house." She aimed a pointed look his way. "Even if I end up rescuing him from danger as often as he rescues me." ”
― Kelley Armstrong, quote from The Rising
“Докато търсеха стариците, хората опустошиха всичко в техния дом. Сякаш ято скакалци преминаваше през него. Изтръгваха старите гоблени от стените, а овехтялата тъкан се разпадаше в ръцете им и ставаше на прах; чупеха ключалките на кутиите и изваждаха отдавна излезлите от употреба банкноти и монети; отваряха скърцащите врати, старите панти не издържаха и вратите с грохот падаха на пода; преобръщаха дюшеците, измъкваха сребърни прибори от кухненските шкафове, изтръгваха златните крачета на ваните в баните; разпаряха дамаската на диваните и търсеха скрити съкровища; изхвърлиха през прозореца стария диван-люлка на улицата. Сякаш магията се бе развалила и тълпата се бе пробудила от дълбокия си сън; най-после беше получила отговор на отколешната тайна, която толкова години ги бе измъчвала. После щяха изумено да се вглеждат един в друг и да не вярват на очите си, а в душите им щяха да се борят срам и гордост. „Нима това е наше дело? – щяха да се питат те. – Но нали сме най-нормални хора?”
― Salman Rushdie, quote from Shame
“Come and take choice of all my library and so beguile thy sorrow.”
― William Shakespeare, quote from Titus Andronicus
“I want to know your story. I want to know you. I want—oh, fuck it." Ren cupped my cheek, his hand gentle as he tilted my head back, and before my heart could take another beat, he kissed me. It was no slow or seductive kiss. He claimed my lips as if he were laying claim to my body, to my soul, and every part of me. His mouth was demanding as he tilted his head, his lips moving over mine, his tongue tracing the seam of my lips, willing them to part, and I . . . I opened for him. My lips parted, and he made this sound, this deep animalistic groan that sent flames lapping over my skin. The kiss deepened, and his tongue slid over mine, along the roof of my mouth. He took me with his mouth, tasted me and claimed me.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from Wicked

Falling ManBookQuoters 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.
