(Mace to Smitty)”
― quote from The Mane Event
“So, hoss. Have you actually told her you’re in love with her?”
“She won’t let me. When I tried, she threw me down a flight of stairs.”
“And you’re not concerned about that?”
“There weren’t that many steps.”
― quote from The Mane Event
“I'd rather have rabies than be in love."

― quote from The Mane Event
“This conversation" - Dez rapped her knuckles against the Formica table- "is over."
"Be careful, Dez," Jimmy stated earnestly.
"And don't sleep with him the first night," Vinny warned. "We know what a slut you can be."
Dez turned to Sal. "Do you have anything to add to this bullshit?"
"Yeah." Sal looked down from the ceiling he'd been staring at. "Based on the structure of this building, if we removed that pillar back there, we could take out this whole block."
Dez sighed.”
― quote from The Mane Event

― quote from The Mane Event
“If you’re worried arresting my sister will come between us — really, that’s not a problem. I’m pretty sure it will bind us tighter together. Besides, we made plans…involving Missy’s desk.”
“You know I was only torturing your sister.”
“So you were just using me?” He actually sounded wounded. “Like a whore?”
“Mace…” She stopped and rubbed her eyes. Of all the places he could be doing this, her precinct should not be one of them.
“You’re doing it again.”
“Doing what?”
“Trying to make me crazy.”
The look he gave her was pure predatory male. “I like you crazy.”
― quote from The Mane Event
“That’s a shitty thing to do. It’s almost catlike in its evilness.”

― quote from The Mane Event

― quote from The Mane Event
“Didn’t she know?
“Yes” to dinner today.
“Yes” to marriage tomorrow.
Dammit, he had a schedule to keep.
A schedule that involved getting her sweet ass into bed as fast as humanly possible.”
― quote from The Mane Event
“Uh…tell me, Mace. Have you actually let her in on the fact she’s yours now?”
“No. But I will. She’ll simply have to deal with it.”
Smitty sighed. “So says the King of the Jungle.”
― quote from The Mane Event
“Jealousy over some big, dumb bear flew out the window as he stared at Ronnie. “You…you were banned from Norway? The country?”

― quote from The Mane Event
“Mace-Let's get something straight right now woman...we are a couple.
Dez-I never agreed to that!
Mace- Don't care!”
― quote from The Mane Event
“He’d hate to start killing people at this stage in the game. Especially some poor schmuck who happened to marry the wrong woman.”
― quote from The Mane Event
“Exactly what was wrong with her? And could she pass it on to any children she may have?”
― quote from The Mane Event
“Why couldn’t she get the man out of her mind? Because he reminded you what that hole between your legs is really for.”
― quote from The Mane Event
“He growled. Really, how attached could Smitty be to his sister? Would he really notice if Mace killed her?”
― quote from The Mane Event
“Here, baby. Here’s a towel.”
She reached back, unable to face the man, and grasped the towel he handed her. Of course, it was a dish towel and not much good.”
― quote from The Mane Event
“I’m okay,” he reassured her before he could say something stupid. Like “marry me.”
― quote from The Mane Event
“In fact, his adult brain acted like his adolescent brain used to. It stopped functioning. All it wanted to do was wrap itself around the owner of that scent and purr.”
― quote from The Mane Event
“Lessons? Oh no. I didn’t need lessons.” He glanced up and found her shaking her head in disgust at her own idiocy. “You see, Sissy said I wouldn’t need lessons. ‘You’re a shifter,’ she said. ‘We can do anything,’ she said.”
― quote from The Mane Event
“Don’t fret none, darlin’. I got your back.”
“You said that in Budapest. I still have the scars, too.”
― quote from The Mane Event
“She never discussed her past in detail, but a few tidbits she’d dropped here and there over the last few months they’d all been hanging together convinced Ronnie and Sissy that the woman hadn’t merely lived on the wild side, but instead owned prime real estate there.”
― quote from The Mane Event
“Smiled at Smitty. Leered at Dez. And practically spit at Mace. Man, the staff at this restaurant really didn’t like him.”
― quote from The Mane Event

― quote from The Mane Event
“Hey, man, I'm old school. Don't make me bust out the Easy-E and the N.W.A I will got straight up gangsta on your ass. No one is more hardcore than a rich, suburban white girl.”

Walking DisasterBookQuoters 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.
