“We need to talk," Dean said.
"Whatever you have to say," Michael drawled, "You can say in front of me."
I gave Michael a look.
"Whatever you have to say, you can say in front of me, unless Cassie wishes to speak to you privately, in which case I completely respect her right to do so," Michael corrected himself.”

“There were no tears in her. The wound went too deep, or she was not so constituted to give way to it. Hers would be the perpetual ache of loss and loneliness, slowly dulled with time until it became a part of her character, a faint sourness tinged with withered pride.”
― Winston Graham, quote from Ross Poldark
“My feeling is, if a dog is that hard up to break free, let it go. It's like a boyfriend who wants to break up. We all know the old adage "If you set someone free, and he never comes back, then he was never yours." I understand the main fear with setting dogs loose is they could get hit by a car, but so could an ex boyfriend. That's just a chance you have to take.”
― Chelsea Handler, quote from Are You There, Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea
“Baby, football isn't my dream" he said, kissing my forehead. "You are".”

“My kingdom for a camera,” he said, his gray eyes crinkling in amusement. “You ought to see your face.” I closed my gaping mouth and shook my head, amazed. “How on earth did you know I was there?” I asked him. Iain braced both fists in the small of his back and stretched. “I’m no clairvoyant,” he assured me. “I saw you hopping the fence. Thought you were taking a devil of a time getting here. Besides,” he added, pointing at the clear outline of our shadows on the shed wall, “if you’ve a mind to sneak up on a Scotsman, you’d best do it when the sun’s not at your back.”

Better When He's Bad
Magic ShiftsBookQuoters 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.
