“I love you, asshole."
Then Gavin laughed. "Right back at you, dickhead.”
“Granted, physical attraction is what gets you in the door. But there has to be something beyond that to want to keep you there.”
“Bastard."
"You love me."
"Yes, I do. Now let me come.”
“You dance really well.”
“I took ballet lessons.”
She tilted her head back to search his face, certain he was joking. “You did not.”
“I did. Several of us on the team did. Good for coordination.”
Resisting the laugh that bubbled up in her throat, she said, “Somehow I can’t picture you in tights and a tutu.”
But he did laugh. “We made sure no one with a camera got within miles of the studio.”
“If he licked her there, she'd rob a bank for him.
When she felt his tongue glide across her throat, she quivered all over. Mick tightensed his hold on her, and the bastard did it again.”
“She's important to me. What you think-or want- isn't. I love her. And if I lose her over this, you'll regret it.”
“Mom, I don't care if you're dating the guy who picks up our garbage, as long as he's nice to you.”
“Mick hadn’t become the NFL’S leading quarterback by lying back and playing dead.”
“She does love me. She's scared.”
“I'd love another kid like Nathan. Or maybe a little girl like you.”
“I'm the lucky one, Tara. I have you; I have Nathan. I have the perfect life. Thank you.”
“You put your life on hold for me. And really, I get that. I appreciate that. But I'm not a baby anymore. Let go, Mom.”
“I want to play football for as long as my body will let me, and for as long as I can do a good job at it. And I want a wife. A son. Maybe another kid.”
“Heaven. I love the way you fit inside me.”
“I love you. I've missed you. I've been so stupid.”
“Then quit sitting here like a whiny pussy and go do something about it.”
“I thought a lot about kissing you.”
“I'm scared Gavin. What if I can't do this?”
“Just thought he might want to see me play.”
“...quantum mechanics—the physics of our world—requires that you hold such pedestrian complaints in abeyance.”
“Fawcett, quoting a companion, wrote that cannibalism “at least provides a reasonable motive for killing a man, which is more than you can say for civilized warfare.”
“A knotty puzzle may hold a scientist up for a century, when it may be that a colleague has the solution already and is not even aware of the puzzle that it might solve.”
“They all seemed to function in it, but to say they controlled it would be wrong...The chaos controlled them.”
“Women like to make up rules to befuddle you...it's part of living in their world. Get used to it.”
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.
