“I have no doubt he’ll hurt me. But he’ll do it on clean satin sheets in romantic lighting.”
― Kitty Thomas, quote from The Last Girl
“All I feel is sympathy for the devil who has crawled inside my heart, stealing my soul and my will from me.”
― Kitty Thomas, quote from The Last Girl
“I can’t kill him and he can’t keep me alive. The world we’ve lived in together is an illusion that can’t be maintained. The edges are fraying, curling away to reveal the harsh reality beneath. The lion and the lamb do not lie down together. It just can’t be.”
― Kitty Thomas, quote from The Last Girl
“I can’t hate him. All I feel is sympathy for the devil who has crawled inside my heart, stealing my soul and my will from me.”

― Kitty Thomas, quote from The Last Girl

― Kitty Thomas, quote from The Last Girl
“I can’t hate you. We’re too connected. I can’t hate you without hating me.”
― Kitty Thomas, quote from The Last Girl

― Kitty Thomas, quote from The Last Girl
“I thought I knew madness, but I didn’t know it before you.”
― Kitty Thomas, quote from The Last Girl

“It’s a cruel joke of the universe that the one person who makes me come alive is himself dead. And evil. His very existence defies all moral laws and all known laws of physics.”
~Juliette”
― Kitty Thomas, quote from The Last Girl
“There is that moment when you first wake up and your dreams are still hovering like a fine mist in the air. For a tiny fragment of time you feel as though you could choose to live in either reality. In fact, in those seconds, as the dream replays in your mind, still so fresh, it seems more real, and this world seems unreal and fuzzy. I want to make the choice to go back to the dream, to live there.”
― Kitty Thomas, quote from The Last Girl
“It’s a cruel joke of the universe that the one person who makes me come alive is himself dead. And evil. His very existence defies all moral laws and all known laws of physics.”
― Kitty Thomas, quote from The Last Girl

“القارىء السيىء يأتي و يطالبني بأن أقشّر من أجله الكتاب الذي كتبته. يجيء إليّ كي يطالبني بأن ألقي أنا بيديّ، من أجله، الى برميل النفايات عنبي و أن أقدم إليه النوى...
عودة الى مجموعة المونولوج القديم، المتآكل، المبتذل، الى مجموعة الكليشيهات الجافة التي يعرفها القارىء السيىء كغيره، منذ أمد بعيد و لذلك فهو يرتاح لها و بها فقط: الشخصيات التي في الكتاب هي بكل تأكيد الكاتب نفسه أو جيرانه، و الكاتب او جيرانه كما يظهر ليسوا " حمائم بيضاء"، وهم فاسدون قذرون مثلنا جميعاً. بعد التقشير حتى العظم يتضح دائماً "أنهم جميعا نفس الشيء". وهذا بالضبط ما يبحث عنه القارىء بتلهف و(يجده) في كل كتاب....

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.
