“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
“Love burns past logic and all rational time lines to consume everything.”
― 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
“There has to be some way this won’t end in tragedy. Why can’t Romeo and Juliet live happily ever after? It’s as if the universe won’t abide such a strong connection in such a disconnected world, as if our connection defies the natural order.”
― 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

― Kitty Thomas, quote from The Last Girl

― Kitty Thomas, quote from The Last Girl

“I am sorry I ran from you. I am still running, running from that knowledge, that eye, that love from which there is no refuge. For you meant only love, and love, and I felt only fear, and pain. So once in Israel love came to us incarnate, stood in the doorway between two worlds, and we were all afraid.”
― Annie Dillard, quote from Teaching a Stone to Talk: Expeditions and Encounters
“I was going to say, No, no, don’t cry, I’ll go out
with you. Anything, but don’t cry. . . . But I still
couldn’t make my voice work.
And then he sort of cleared his throat and said,
“Georgia, don’t feel bad.
It’s always tough to hurt someone and tell them the truth. I know that. You’re a really lovely girl. Lovely . . . mad . . . but
lovely. I’ll always like you. Don’t worry.”
― Louise Rennison, quote from Love Is a Many Trousered Thing

“Morten Holland så på ham som om han hadde spist noe rart. «Er du sprø, Carl? Det der er eske 3965 fra år 2000. Jeg har hele kassen med hus og balkong og alt.» Han pekte på den øverste hyllen. Og så sannelig. Der sto hele huset i all sin plastprakt. «Har du noen andre jeg kan låne, da? Bare til i morgen kveld?» Morten så plutselig helt fortapt ut i ansiktet. Det hadde antagelig ikke gjort noen forskjell om Carl hadde spurt om å få gi ham et skikkelig ballespark.”
― Jussi Adler-Olsen, quote from The Keeper of Lost Causes
“A wave would arrive, all out of breath, but, as it had nothing to report, it would disperse in apologetic salaams.”

Amongst WomenBookQuoters 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.
