“I’m currently imagining a few creative ways of causing you extraordinary amounts of pain.”
Kingsley raised his chin. Mere inches separated their faces.
“Stop flirting. You know we don’t have time for that.”
― Tiffany Reisz, quote from The Prince
“Can I take a moment here to tell you both how cute your accents are when you're angry?"
Wesley and his father both looked at her, Wesley in shock, his father in disgust.
"Okay, that's a 'no' then. Carry on.”
― Tiffany Reisz, quote from The Prince
“I don’t believe in ghosts and neither should you, Kingsley.”
”Why not? I’ve been in love with a ghost for thirty years.”
Kingsley strolled over to the armchair and sat on the ottoman between the other man’s knees. Soren narrowed his eyes at him.
“The body’s not even cold yet. Eleanor’s been gone one day and you’re already trying to get me into bed again?”
”Again?” Kingsley laughed and rolled his eyes. “Always. Are you surprised?”
Soren shrugged. “Not really.”
― Tiffany Reisz, quote from The Prince
“I would have been an atheist but for you proving to me that both heaven and hell were real, even if they existed only when I was with you.”
― Tiffany Reisz, quote from The Prince
“Pourquoi?" Kingsley demanded. "Why? You take her every way you can, every chance you have. Why her and not me?"
Soren hadn't replied, and for that Kingsley had been forever grateful. He knew the answer, but to hear it would have broken the one last unbroken part of his spirit.”
― Tiffany Reisz, quote from The Prince
“He wished that the mathematics of the world were like the mathematics of the heart - then his equal love and hate would mean he felt nothing instead of double.”
― Tiffany Reisz, quote from The Prince
“Je suis le vôtre. J’étais toujours le vôtre, monsieur. I am yours. I have always been yours, sir. “Oui. Tu es le mien.” Yes, you are mine.”
― Tiffany Reisz, quote from The Prince
“God, how he loved Søren. Loved him. Loved him like a father, like a brother, like a friend and a lover…and loved him like the enemy that forced him to be stronger, smarter, wiser, braver. Søren had become everything to him….”
― Tiffany Reisz, quote from The Prince
“He was fluent in nineteen modern languages, five ancient languages and the one true universal language—pain.”
― Tiffany Reisz, quote from The Prince
“I have nothing in me that you cannot break. I would let you destroy me, and then I would resurrect myself from my own ashes for the honor of being destroyed by you again.”
― Tiffany Reisz, quote from The Prince
“You stared at me constantly, followed me everywhere I went. You watched me sleep, Kingsley"
"How did you know that?"
Kingsey shivered as Søren's laugh rippled through the woods.
"I watched you watch me”
― Tiffany Reisz, quote from The Prince
“Wesley looked down at her and Nora could barely meet his brown eyes, which bored into her with the fiery love of a guardian angel. God probably had eyes like Wesley's.....anyone who looked into them wanted to immediately apologize for any and all sins ever committed.”
― Tiffany Reisz, quote from The Prince
“Nora could hurt his body in beautiful ways. But only Søren could tear open his soul.”
― Tiffany Reisz, quote from The Prince
“You can break me again.” “I can’t break you.” Søren shook his head. “I never could. Your body, yes. But there is a core inside you that I could never touch, never reach, never break. It’s the part of you that was never afraid of me.”
― Tiffany Reisz, quote from The Prince
“I’ve always wanted to believe God made me this way for a reason.”
“I am the reason.”
― Tiffany Reisz, quote from The Prince
“You say you know me, Mr. Railey, but obviously, you don’t. If you did, you’d know I don’t spit out.”
― Tiffany Reisz, quote from The Prince
“As a child…I didn’t understand, couldn’t understand. I thought I’d been born broken.”
“Broken?” Kingsley could hardly believe his ears. "When I saw you the first time, I felt...healed. If you are broken, then I only pray someday I break too.”
― Tiffany Reisz, quote from The Prince
“This is your world, kid. Not mine. You know I don’t belong here.”
“You once told me you loved it down south.”
“I was talking about anal sex.”
“Of course you were.”
― Tiffany Reisz, quote from The Prince
“Wesley…never fuck with a sadist. For Søren, torture’s just foreplay.”
― Tiffany Reisz, quote from The Prince
“For to get close to Søren meant walking through fire, stepping on glass, crawling through hell.”
― Tiffany Reisz, quote from The Prince
“Hell is fine. Surely God wants nothing to do with us, anyway.”
― Tiffany Reisz, quote from The Prince
“And…” Søren continued, “it’s safer to be feared than loved. At least where I’m concerned.”
― Tiffany Reisz, quote from The Prince
“What is that verse? ‘There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is nether slave nor free, there is neither male nor female…for you are all one in Kingsley’s bed.”
― Tiffany Reisz, quote from The Prince
“No commentary, Nora. Please,” he said as he pushed an arm inside the mare.
“I won’t say a single word,” she pledged as she took the horse’s head in her lap. “Except that this reminds me of my last date with Griffin.”
― Tiffany Reisz, quote from The Prince
“He had to be a hero for her. He wished the world still had dragons so he had something to slay for her.”
― Tiffany Reisz, quote from The Prince
“Don’t make me laugh. You begged for it. Night after night, you begged for it.”
“Of course I did. Pain is the only way you know how to show love.”
“It’s not the only way I know how to show love. It’s the only way I chose to with you.”
― Tiffany Reisz, quote from The Prince
“Would you choose to be like me, if you had the choice?” “I do choose it. You regret what you are only because you think you must keep others away from you. It will not keep me away.”
― Tiffany Reisz, quote from The Prince
“Søren laid out feasts for her that she merely picked at, while Kingsley lapped up the crumbs that fell to the floor.”
― Tiffany Reisz, quote from The Prince
“Wesley rolled onto his back and Nora collapsed onto his chest. He let out a puff of air as she scrambled into position. “Are you made of lead?”
“I’m solid muscle and evil. Stop bitching and cuddle me.”
― Tiffany Reisz, quote from The Prince
“I’m much younger than I look, I promise.” Nora’s smile broadened. “I’m aging horribly.”
― Tiffany Reisz, quote from The Prince

“God’s grace does not come to people who morally outperform others, but to those who admit their failure to perform and who acknowledge their need for a Savior.”

“Praise be to the Weaver and all the gods!' said Shalhassan of Cathal. 'Finally she's done something adult!”
― Guy Gavriel Kay, quote from The Wandering Fire
“to really get a mass atrocity going you need idealism—the belief that your violence is a means to a moral end. The major atrocities of the twentieth century were carried out largely either by men who thought they were creating a utopia or else by men who believed they were defending their homeland or tribe from attack.30 Idealism easily becomes dangerous because it brings with it, almost inevitably, the belief that the ends justify the means. If you are fighting for good or for God, what matters is the outcome, not the path. People have little respect for rules; we respect the moral principles that underlie most rules. But when a moral mission and legal rules are incompatible, we usually care more about the mission. The psychologist Linda Skitka31 finds that when people have strong moral feelings about a controversial issue—when they have a “moral mandate”—they care much less about procedural fairness in court cases. They want the “good guys” freed by any means, and the “bad guys” convicted by any means. It is thus not surprising that the administration of George W. Bush consistently argues that extra-judicial killings, indefinite imprisonment without trial, and harsh physical treatment of prisoners are legal and proper steps in fighting the Manichaean “war on terror.”

Bad for YouBookQuoters 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.
