“Just because you keep coming back to the same person doesn't make it true love, it might mean you haven't found one yet.”
― Adriane Leigh, quote from The Mourning After
“I tried to get over you. I wanted so fucking bad to forget you. But every time I was with someone, it was you. Your hair, your eyes, your touch. You're all I fucking saw. You have a choice Georgia but I don't. I don't have a fucking choice, I never did. It's always been you. You destroyed me. I'm not the person I was before I met you and I can't go back. Nothing works anymore without you." ~Tristan”
― Adriane Leigh, quote from The Mourning After
“I don't want to regret anything with you.”
― Adriane Leigh, quote from The Mourning After
“You say stop, but your body says go," he whispered in my ear seductively. "I can tell that you want this, Georgia.”
― Adriane Leigh, quote from The Mourning After
“Tell me Georgia, does he make you come so hard you forget your own name?”
― Adriane Leigh, quote from The Mourning After
“I wanted to break myself in two. I wanted to give my heart to both of the men in my life. I wanted to give Kyle the part of myself that needed the safety and comfort of his arms, and I wanted to give Tristan the piece that craved the sense of lightness and happiness he made me feel.”
― Adriane Leigh, quote from The Mourning After
“I fucking loved him and I hated it. I hated him for making me love him. I hated Kyle for leaving me alone so many nights for so many years. And mostly I just hated myself for doing this to all of us.”
― Adriane Leigh, quote from The Mourning After
“A shift was taking place in my life - the beach house, Kyle, Tristan; the tides were changing.”
― Adriane Leigh, quote from The Mourning After
“If you're not ready I won't force you. But I'm going to spend the entire summer helping you come to the realization that you want me too.”
― Adriane Leigh, quote from The Mourning After
“But I want Kyle and I to work. We've always worked."
"But what if you work better with someone else?”
― Adriane Leigh, quote from The Mourning After
“Let Go.
Let Me Have It.
Let Me Have You.”
― Adriane Leigh, quote from The Mourning After
“Fire shot through my body at his touch. The scent of his skin caused my brain to short circuit. I knew I was only feeling that way because I'd been missing Kyle. This was the longest we'd been apart. Nearly a week and we'd been so busy we hadn't had a chance to really talk. That's what this was-I missed Kyle. I needed to remind myself not to mistake the pull I felt toward Tristan as anything other than my yearning for Kyle.”
― Adriane Leigh, quote from The Mourning After
“You made a mistake, that doesn't mean you don't deserve love. It means you're human(...)”
― Adriane Leigh, quote from The Mourning After

― Adriane Leigh, quote from The Mourning After
“„Healing isn't a betrayal of the memory.”
― Adriane Leigh, quote from The Mourning After

“Many different thoughts rise up in the darkness - like those gossamer plants that grow in the lake, oddly bewitching and pretty as they bob and sway; but enticing and sinister, they exert a dark pull as long as they're growing in the living, trickling mire. ANd yet as long as they're nothing but slimey brown clumps when the children pull them in to the boat. So many strange thoughts, both terrifying and enticing, grow in the night.”

Dark TideBookQuoters 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.
