“You love her, don't you?' [Rob] said to Gabriel.
Gabriel finall seemed able to break their locked stare. He looked away, at the carpet. His face was bleak.
Yes' he said
More than anything,' Rob persisted. 'You'd crawl on your belly over broken glass for her. Easy.'
Yes, damn you,' Gabriel said. 'Happy now?”
― L.J. Smith, quote from The Passion
“Kaitlyn is that kind of girl that might be too interesting, might tempt you to get involved... A girl who challenged him, who could be my equal... Her mind was a place of blue pools and blazing meteors... She stood slim and proud as some medival witch princess against dawn."
-Gabriel”

“More than anything." Rob persisted. "You'd crawl on your belly over broken glass for her. Easy.”
― L.J. Smith, quote from The Passion
“Gabriel came out a moment later, while Kaitlyn was still standing motionless by the stairs. He was shrugging into his T-shirt. He looked particularly handsome in a just-roused, early morning way. His hair was very wavy, as if someone had run fingers through it to release the curl, his eyes were hooded and lazy and there was a faint smile of satisfaction on his lips.
Kaitlyn discovered that she wanted to kill him. The image that came to her mind was of hitting him with a rolling pin, but not in an amusing, comic-book sort of way.”

“She stood slim and proud as some medieval witch princess against dawn.”
― L.J. Smith, quote from The Passion
“The love she felt for Rob now was a burning tenderness, a knowledge that he was the one who'd taught he it was POSSIBLE to love, who had melted the ice of her heart. it was strong and gentile and steady, full of admiration and the intimacy of shared likes and dislikes. it was golden and warm like a summer afternoon.”

“I can feel their Threads waiting.”

“تقترن الثورة بالشباب. فبماذا يمكن أن تَعِد الثورة الراشدين؟ قد تَِعد بعضهم بزوال الحظوة، بينما تعد آخرين بالامتيازات، لكنها ليست امتيازات ذات بال، لأنّها لا تتعلّق إلا بالجانب الأكثر بؤساً من الحياة. فامتيازاتها تكون مقرونة بالشّك والعمل المضني وانقلاب عادات الحياة.
أما الشباب فأوفر حظاً :فهو غير مثقل بالأخطاء، والثورة تستطيع أن تشمله بحمايتها تماماً. ثم إن الشّك الذي يطبع فترات الثورة يشكّل بالنسبة إلى الشباب، مزيّة: لأن عالم الآباء هو الذي يتسرب إليه الشك: آه! ما أروع أن تَلِج عالم الراشدين حينما تنهار معاقلهم!”
― Milan Kundera, quote from Life is Elsewhere
“Even their insistence on educating their children, the last reflex of any exploited group before it sank into submission, marked the end of their resistance.”

“If he lived in my time, Marcello would’ve been in the running for Sexiest Man Alive in People. Rich, powerful, and hotter than wasabi, he was a force.

“Then she gave one last burst of music. The white Moon heard it, and she forgot the dawn, and lingered on in the sky. The red rose heard it, and it trembled all over with ecstasy, and opened its petals to the cold morning air. Echo bore it to her purple cavern in the hills, and woke the sleeping shepherds from their dreams. It floated through the reeds of the river, and they carried its message to the sea.”
― Oscar Wilde, quote from The Nightingale and the Rose

The Fireman Who Love...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.
