“Your eyes drooled. I saw them.”
He was totally perplexed by this argument. Was he not allowed to speak to anyone? “I’m wearing dark sunglasses. How can you see my eyes?”
“She’s jealous, Seth.”
He looked at Maahes for an explanation. “Why?”
Lydia broke off into her hand gestures.
“Are you yelling at me, now?”
Maahes laughed. “Oh yeah, kid. She’s calling you a lot of names.”
That surprised him. “You understand her?”
Maahes gestured back at Lydia in the same language.
For some reason, it angered and hurt him that they’d cut him out of the conversation. “Are you mocking me?”
Lydia flicked her nails at him, then turned and stormed off.
Seth had no idea what he should do. He didn’t understand human emotions or relations. Not really. It’d been too long since he had any.
Maahes let out a heavy sigh. “You hurt her feelings, boy. You need to go apologize.”
“How did I hurt them?”
“Think about it, Seth. She risked her life to bring you here, to save you from hell, and what do you do the first minute she leaves you alone? You let another woman flirt with you.”
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, quote from The Guardian

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.
