“Sex either blows your fucking mind, or it’s not good enough.”
― Karen Marie Moning, quote from The Alpha Alternative: JZB Sex Scene
“Women have been repeating the same mistake since time began: falling for a man’s potential. We rarely see it the same way, and even more rarely care to achieve it.”
― Karen Marie Moning, quote from The Alpha Alternative: JZB Sex Scene
“I have no desire to sleep with you. I want to fuck you. And there is no such thing as perfectly good sex. If it’s “perfectly good,” I mock in falsetto, “he should be shot in the head and put out of everyone’s misery. Sex either blows your fucking mind, or it’s not good enough. You want me to blow your fucking mind, Ms. Lane? Come on. Do it. Be a big girl.”
― Karen Marie Moning, quote from The Alpha Alternative: JZB Sex Scene
“Actions talk. Words are worthless. You think to discover in me a vein of vulnerability, a marbling of sensitivity glimpsed only by you because you’re special, so you can proclaim, “Look, Barrons’ torturous past has made him a monster but only because he’s suffered so much. It’s understandable that he lives by no law but his own—a violent, bloody, conscienceless law—but the healing power of my love will restore his demolished humanity!”
Restore means to return a thing that was taken. Mine was not.”
― Karen Marie Moning, quote from The Alpha Alternative: JZB Sex Scene
“A woman who’s lived in a cage all her life. And hates it. Bored in there, aren’t you. Waiting for life to happen. And when it finally does, it steals from you what you loved most. So take back. Explode. Lash out. Blow up”
― Karen Marie Moning, quote from The Alpha Alternative: JZB Sex Scene
“I have found there to be little distance between the unlatching of a chain and the spreading of a woman’s legs. As if they can never unbar only a single entrance. It’s a disease called hope. Women suffer from it greatly.”
― Karen Marie Moning, quote from The Alpha Alternative: JZB Sex Scene
“Does she, like most women, lose a part of her soul in sex? Leave it lying there for the taking? Fuck.”
― Karen Marie Moning, quote from The Alpha Alternative: JZB Sex Scene
“Lust is a thing of the blood. Doesn't need head or heart.”
― Karen Marie Moning, quote from The Alpha Alternative: JZB Sex Scene
“I have studied humans for a small eternity. Intent infuses their every movement. Road maps to their inner navigation, plastered all over their skin. Born to be slaves.”
― Karen Marie Moning, quote from The Alpha Alternative: JZB Sex Scene
“She's chiffon and satin ribbons. I'm raw meat and razor blades.”

The Ship of BridesBookQuoters 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.
