“Tell me you won't go, tell me you'll stay forever, tell me you love me.”
― C.J. Archer, quote from The Medium
“met Barnaby Wiggam's ghost. The fat, bulbous-nosed spirit fading in and out beside me like a faulty gas lamp clearly thought he was dealing with a fool. I may only be seventeen but I'm not naïve. I know when someone is lying—being dead didn't alter the tell-tale signs. Mr. Wiggam didn't quite meet my eyes, or those of his widow and her guests—none of whom could see him anyway—and he fidgeted with his crisp white silk necktie as if it strangled”
― C.J. Archer, quote from The Medium
“His attire was not something to be dismissed casually. It was what he happened to be wearing when he died. Mr. Wiggam must have died wearing his formal dinner suit but it seemed Mr. Beaufort—Jacob—had been somewhat more casually dressed. It's the reason why I'll never sleep naked.”
― C.J. Archer, quote from The Medium
“Savage. The word hung above us like a guillotine, ready to fall at any moment. "I'm”

“Fear did not make someone cowardly; allowing that fear to stop them taking appropriate action, did. He”

“If we get to the Still Blue,” Soren said, “we should look at how to make more people like you, Aria.”
She laughed. “Make more people like me? You mean half-breeds?”
“No. I mean people who are forgiving and optimistic and things like that.”

“Isn't that the tie Lily bought for your birthday?"
Evan looked down to examine it. It was paisley, a kaleidoscope of color. "Yes it is, as a matter of fact. Good memory. What do you think? Too much?"
"It doesn't matter what I think."
"But you don't like it."
"I think that if you want to wear it, you should wear it."
Evan seemed momentarily undecided. "Why do you do that?"
"Do what?"
"Refuse to answer a simple question."
"Because my opinion is irrelevant. You should wear what you want."
"Just tell me, okay?"
"I don't like your tie."
"Really? Why not?"
"Because it's ugly."
"It's not ugly."
Colin nodded. "Okay."
"You don't know what you're talking about."
"Probably."
"You don't even wear ties."
"You're right."
"So why do I care what you think?"
"I don't know."
Evan scowled. "Talking to you can be infuriating, you know."
"I know. You've said that before."
"Of course I've said it before! Because it's true! Didn't we just talk about this the other night? You don't have to say whatever pops into your head."
"But you asked."
"Just ... Oh, forget it." He turned and started back toward the house. "I'll talk to you later, okay?"
"Where are you going?"
Evan walked a couple of steps before answering without turning around. "To change my damn tie. And by the way Margolis was right. Your face still looks like it was run through a meat grinder."
Colin smiled. "Hey, Evan!"
Evan stopped and turned. "What?"
"Thanks."
"For what?"
"For everything."
"Yeah, yeah. You're just lucky I won't tell Lily what you said."
"You can if you'd like. I already told her."
Evan starred. "Of course you did.”

Seventh Grave and No...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.
