“Bir dakika bekle, " dedi Naturelle. Mutfağa gidince Monty de gözleri kapalı bir halde, ağırlığını bir ayağından diğerine aktararak beklemeye koyuldu. Mutfaktaki musluktan sanki uzaklardan bir yerlerden bir alkış sesi geliyormuşçasına su damlıyordu. Naturelle elinde bir torba dolusu buzla gelip, torbayı Monty'nin yanağına bastırmasını işaret etti. Bir süre hiç kıpırdamadılar. Naturelle elini Monty'ninkinin üzerine koyup, bir süre bekledi.
Monty kadının kendisine sımsıkı sarılmasını, kulağına kimsenin kendilerini bulamayacağı bir yer bildiğini fısıldamasını diliyordu. Ona arkasından geleceğine, Otisville' de bir iş bulup her hafta onu ziyaret edeceğine söz vermesini istiyordu. Yedi senenin kötü bir rüya gibi geçeceğini sonra yeniden birbirlerine kavuşacaklarını, önlerinde daha upuzun bir ömür olduğunu, filan söylemesini bekliyordu.
Naturelle hiçbir şey söylemedi Monty de öyle. Sonunda Monty baş sallayıp, dönerek kapıyı arkasından kapattı. Poşeti ters çevirip içindeki buzların üç kat aşağı düşüşünü izledi. Sonra poşeti cebine koydu.”
― David Benioff, quote from The 25th Hour
“I told you. You own me. I'm yours. All that I have been. All that I am. All that I will ever be. Your happiness is mine. Your fury is mine. And your needs will be met before mine. I love you, and to me, that means placing you first and giving to you what I will never give to another. Power over me. (Thane to Elin)”
― Gena Showalter, quote from Burning Dawn
“Your race doesn’t define you. -Richard”

“She loved the way he deepened the kiss, making her dizzy as he wound his fingers in her hair and angled her head, urging her mouth open wider as he kissed her more forcefully. Reese tore at his shirt, needing to see him, to feel his skin against hers.”
― Bella Andre, quote from Cape Cod Promises
“Hands up! Hands up! Everybody on the floor!” The effect was akin to three wild-eyed berserkers storming a prayer meeting.”

The TreesBookQuoters 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.
