“After all, it's the people you care about the most who can cut you the deepest.”
― Kristen Zimmer, quote from The Gravity Between Us
“It isn't as simple as a fascination of the flesh. It's everything about her that I love: her intelligence, her ambition, her talent, her sense of humor, her dependability, her kindness.”
― Kristen Zimmer, quote from The Gravity Between Us
“We have an undeniable connection that's more intense than 10,000 Kelvin heat, more dynamic than seismic activity. It's like there's gravity between us - she's the only thing anchoring me to the world, keeping me from floating off into the upper stratosphere and getting lost in space.”
― Kristen Zimmer, quote from The Gravity Between Us
“Acknowledging that my biological imperative may not include the drive to procreate, that I just might be attracted to XX chromosomes instead of XY? That's so stupid-minor in comparison to the fact that I might actually be in love for the first time in my life. It's with a girl...so what? Lesbian, bisexual, whatever! Thus isn't about categorisation or chromosomes. This is about how I feel about another person.”
― Kristen Zimmer, quote from The Gravity Between Us
“I guess it doesn’t matter how well you think you know someone, there’s always a fear that they’ll abandon you. After all, it’s the people you care about the most who can cut you the deepest.”
― Kristen Zimmer, quote from The Gravity Between Us
“Music. This is how I bleed.”
― Kristen Zimmer, quote from The Gravity Between Us
“Some problems can't be solved by talking about them.”
― Kristen Zimmer, quote from The Gravity Between Us
“Deep down inside you always know when it’s the one, even if it’s hard to tell at first. Or hard to accept”
― Kristen Zimmer, quote from The Gravity Between Us
“I'm holding out hope for a girl who will never, ever have a romantic feeling for me as long as she lives. It's foolish, really, that I'm prepared to die alone when I know for a fact there's a sea of lesbians somewhere I could be swimming in.”
― Kristen Zimmer, quote from The Gravity Between Us
“Gee, Mom, thanks for the cupcake. By the way, I'm a raging lesbian.”
― Kristen Zimmer, quote from The Gravity Between Us
“I think I’m gay.” “Yeah? That’s awesome. Maybe we can do this again sometime,” she jokes.”
― Kristen Zimmer, quote from The Gravity Between Us
“What are you waiting for?” She grins. “Kiss me.” And I do—for a very, very long time.”
― Kristen Zimmer, quote from The Gravity Between Us
“She laughs a sweet, throaty laugh, and my heartstrings come undone. I realize at that moment how completely helpless I am against her. She’s like a cyclone, this fascinating yet deadly force of nature that carves a path straight through my defenses no matter how hard I try to fortify them. So, why do I bother trying at all? I’m not sure if I’m ready to be swept away. I’m not ready to leave the sorry, little shelter I’ve built myself. Once I step into the storm, everything changes.”
― Kristen Zimmer, quote from The Gravity Between Us
“That’s the trouble with life. It’s merely a series of moments, each one completely different from the last.”
― Kristen Zimmer, quote from The Gravity Between Us
“Kendall, you're my daughter. I could never hate you. I will always love you and be proud of you. Unless you were to become a career criminal, then I probably wouldn't be so proud.”
― Kristen Zimmer, quote from The Gravity Between Us
“Just say no, Payton, like you would crack cocaine!”
― Kristen Zimmer, quote from The Gravity Between Us
“I slip into the back seat, and the car starts down the road. I watch her through the rear window, shrinking as the distance between us grows.”
― Kristen Zimmer, quote from The Gravity Between Us

“The artist is the closest man comes to being God.”
― Leonard Peikoff, quote from Objectivism: The Philosophy of Ayn Rand
“Like anybody can tell you, I am not a very nice man. I don't know the word. I have
always admired the villain, the outlaw, the son of a bitch. I don't like the clean-shaven
boy with the necktie and the good job. I like desperate men, men with broken teeth
and broken minds and broken ways. They interest me. They are full of surprises and
explosions. I also like vile women, drunk cursing bitches with loose stockings and
sloppy mascara faces. I'm more interested in perverts than saints. I can relax with
bums because I am a bum. I don't like laws, morals, religions, rules. I don't like to be
shaped by society.”

“Bills should be paid cheerfully, all money should be sent forth fearlessly and with a blessing.”

“Going where no man has gone before is more difficult than it sounds. Our cousins and ancestors were no less curious than we are, and were perhaps bolder. This world is their tomb.
You should look under the bed.”

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.
