― Lindsay Cummings, quote from The Murder Complex
“I swallow hard. She's right. But if something happens to her, I'll never forgive myself. "Then I'll let you go," I say, and lean forward to cut the bindings. "But... you owe me something first."
'And that is?" She's still staring up at the sky.
"A kiss" I say.
Her eyes never meet mine.
"Well?" I ask.
She nods and smiles, finally throwing me a stare that's as deadly as poison "You can kiss my ass, Zephyr James.”
― Lindsay Cummings, quote from The Murder Complex
“So now, when three Landers, members of a street gang, approach me in the back alley behind the Library, knives drawn, the silver barrel of a gun pointed at my heart, I know I am ready.”
― Lindsay Cummings, quote from The Murder Complex
“I remember the one thing I have always known all along. I am not my mother’s daughter. I do not run from fear, but dive into it headfirst, the way my father taught me.”
― Lindsay Cummings, quote from The Murder Complex
“...he still knows how to love, and how to be soft, in a world full of hate.”
― Lindsay Cummings, quote from The Murder Complex
“Ela não é bonita.É diferente,rígida e intocável,como se tivesse sido esculpida em pedra.No entanto faz com que eu mantenha a minha sanidade quando mais nada resulta.É como se ela me pusesse os pés bem na terra,como a gravidade,só que com muito mais força.Ela protege-me das pessoas sem rosto que me perseguem todas as noites e a cada instante do meu dia.”
― Lindsay Cummings, quote from The Murder Complex
“A imagem do seu rosto,com um sorriso estranhamente imperfeito e olhos de esmeralda atormentam-me o resto do dia.”
― Lindsay Cummings, quote from The Murder Complex
“...seria capaz de fazer tudo por esta rapariga.Até a seguia para o Inferno se tal fosse preciso.E,conhecendo-a,é talvez para aí que nos dirigimos.”
― Lindsay Cummings, quote from The Murder Complex
“Inclina-se para a frente,com os olhos acesos como brasas,e põe as mãos em volta da minha cara.”
― Lindsay Cummings, quote from The Murder Complex
“No one has ever looked at me this way before, like I am something worth seeing”
― Lindsay Cummings, quote from The Murder Complex
“O sorriso nunca desaparece do rosto de Zephyr.
Quando volta a si,momentos depois,puxo-o mais para mim e esmago os meus lábios nos dele.”

“So, is it too young for you?"
He leaned over, lips coming to mine, arms pulling me into a kiss, soft at first, tentative, then ... wow. The guy could kiss. I finally had to pull back to catch my breath.
"Good answer?" he said.
"Yep. You like them young."
He flushed. "That was not the message."
"Are you sure? Because it certainly seems--"
He cut me off with another oxygen-depriving kiss.”
― Kelley Armstrong, quote from Waking the Witch
“A real man's gotta be a hero to his wife before he can be a hero to anybody else- or he ain't a real man.”
― Eric Wilson, quote from Fireproof
“He’s an odd duck
but he’s a good kid, with a good heart.”
― Lisa Scottoline, quote from Look Again
“И докато оглеждах спокойния предзалезен площад насред разбитата, но пълна с хиляди обещания улица, почувствах как расте, как се надига готовността ми: да продължа тоя непродължим живот. Няма на света безумие, което да не сме в състояние да преживеем естествено и знам, че по пътя ми вече ме дебне щастието, като неизбежен капан. Та нали още там, край комините, в паузите на страданията съществуваше нещо, което можеше да се оприличи на щастие. Всеки пита само за превратностите, за "ужасите": макар че за мен навярно именно онова преживяване е останало най-паметно. Да, това трябва да им разкажа следващия път, ако ме попитат.
Ако ме попитат. И ако самият аз не забравя.”
― Imre Kertész, quote from Fatelessness
“Daisy said to me that I was trying to find ways to protect my heart but I was doing it wrong. She told me the best way to protect my heart was to trust it to someone who will protect it for me.
More silence but his body went completely still.
“That’s you. It’s always been you.”
― Kristen Ashley, quote from Rock Chick Revenge

Cold FireBookQuoters 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.
