“Erik smoothed my shirt back into place, letting the tip of his index finger slip beneath the waistband of my pants to touch the edge of my underwear. Closing his turquoise eyes, he emitted an audible moan as he felt the lacey material. I”

“Donavon! There hasn’t been one time I have kissed you that you haven’t thought of him!” Erik screamed, pounding his hands against my bed, sending me bouncing up and down. If I thought his eerie calm voice was scary, it had nothing on his losing-his-temper voice.”
― Sophie Davis, quote from Talented
“And why was Erik fishing around in my head while we were making out, anyway? I didn’t reach into his head. Sure, I opened myself up to his feelings, but that was a lot different than rummaging around in his head to find out how I compared with every girl that he’d done whatever it is he does with them.”
― Sophie Davis, quote from Talented
“Henri cleared it with your Dad; I get to go to the city today!” “With Henri and Erik?” he didn’t sound happy. “Well, yeah. I guess, so we can spend bonding time, or whatever,” I tried to sound offhand, but I was really excited and I didn’t want him ruining my mood. “Oh, well, have fun, I guess,” he said, obviously irritated. “I know you were hoping we could go together, but Henri went through the trouble of going to the Captain and calling your Dad and stuff,” I started to apologize. “No, it’s fine. I’ll take you another time,” he cut me off. “I’ll come find you when I get back,” I promised. “Yeah, whatever.” I closed my mind again. He was killing my happy buzz. Elite Headquarters is located in West Virginia,”

“Yes, I was drinking. But I drink. You don’t. And I don’t appreciate you getting drunk for the first time without me.” “This is ridiculous, Donavon. I don’t understand why you’re so pissed. I didn’t do anything wrong. I’m going back to my cabin. I cannot deal with you right now.” I started walking away.”
― Sophie Davis, quote from Talented
“I wanted to take a quick look into her head, wanted to see if she felt it, too, but decided against the intrusion. I knew I wouldn’t want somebody invading my most painful and private memories.”

“Right now universes are being created thrown together and destroyed the world over. Seven billion souls, each preoccupied with their own unique reality, each with a head full of memories, plans, learned knowledge and accumulated trivia; birthdays, telephone numbers, bus routes, passwords. Each one with somewhere to go, something they need to get done. They all have birth certificates and shoe sizes. Every single one has a story.”

“Имя его было Акакий Акакиевич. Может быть, читателю оно покажется несколько странным и выисканным, но можно уверить, что его никак не искали, а что сами собою случились такие обстоятельства, что никак нельзя было дать другого имени, и это произошло именно вот как. Родился Акакий Акакиевич против ночи, если только не изменяет память, на 23 марта. Покойница матушка, чиновница и очень хорошая женщина, расположилась, как следует, окрестить ребенка. Матушка еще лежала на кровати против дверей, а а по правую руку стоял кум, превосходнейший человек, Иван Иванович Ерошкин, служивший столоначальником в сенате, и кума, жена квартального офицера, женщина редких добродетелей, Арина Семеновна Белобрюшкова. Родильнице предоставили на выбор любое из трех, какое она хочет выбрать: Моккия, Соссия, или назвать ребенка во имя мученика Хоздазата. "Нет, -- подумала покойница, -- имена-то все такие". Чтобы угодить ей, развернули календарь в другом месте; вышли опять три имени: Трифилий, Дула и Варахасий. "Вот это наказание, -- проговорила старуха, -- какие всё имена; я, право, никогда и не слыхивала таких. Пусть бы еще Варадат или Варух, а то Трифилий и Варахасий". Еще переворотили страницу -- вышли: Павсикахий и Вахтисий. "Ну, уж я вижу, -- сказала старуха, -- что, видно, его такая судьба. Уж если так, пусть лучше будет он называться, как и отец его. Отец был Акакий, так пусть и сын будет Акакий”

“I'm not sorry. That was long overdue.'
Antonio instantly amended, 'Precious, I didn't mean that I'm sorry it happened.'
Precious...fucking hell.
Canal's smile was private as he gazed at Antonio. 'I know, honey.'
Honey...Jesus Christ.”

Antifragile: Things...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.
