Quotes from The Probability of Violet & Luke

“I wish I’d never met the bastard known as destiny.”
― Jessica Sorensen, quote from The Probability of Violet & Luke

“I care about Violet more than I care about myself. Maybe even… Love her? Fuck, am I in love? No, there’s no way. I don’t even know what love is.”
― Jessica Sorensen, quote from The Probability of Violet & Luke

“To help wake up every day, I try to tell myself that I’ll get over Violet eventually, because time is supposed to heal all wounds or some stupid shit like that, but it seems like time is having the opposite effect on me. The wounds have become infected and their seeping through my body and rotting me from the inside out.”
― Jessica Sorensen, quote from The Probability of Violet & Luke

“Life. I hate it. More than ever. And destiny, it can go to hell. I fucking hate destiny.”
― Jessica Sorensen, quote from The Probability of Violet & Luke

“We could talk..." I take a long inhale off my cigarette and gradually let it out, smoke circling my face. "If you want to."
She tenses as she shakes her head and stares out the window to the side of her. "I want to play make believe for just a little bit longer."
God, i've never felt my heart shatter for someone else more than I have at this moment.”
― Jessica Sorensen, quote from The Probability of Violet & Luke

“Such are the ways of politics, where the crusade of the hour often blocks out everything else, at least until another crusade comes along and takes over the same monopoly of our minds.”
― Thomas Sowell, quote from Black Rednecks and White Liberals

“Heaven’s Door"

I’d search the world for Heaven’s Door,

Over mountains and valleys, each sandy shore.

I’d find the stairway, soaring through clouds,

I'd climb each step, without making a sound.

I’d arrive at the door of glimmering gold,

I’d slip through unnoticed, not stirring a soul.

I’d gasp at its beauty, at its rivers and trees,

I’d stray from the paths, I’d hide among leaves.

I’d tiptoe unseen, under sun and sky blue,

I’d search every corner until I found you.

I’d capture a tear, catch a glimpse of your hair,

As you danced and you twirled, without any care.

You’d smile and you’d laugh, like a bird you’d be free,

I’d try not to cry, you’re there without me.

I’d stay my hand from touching your face,

From calling your name, to feel your embrace.

You’d open your mouth and your voice would be pure,

I’d treasure the sound, no more pain you’d endure.

I’d stay ‘til the sunset, when I’d have to leave,

A pain in my heart, my spirit in grief.

I’d blow you a kiss, let it drift to the sky,

I’d whisper ‘I love you’ and bid you goodbye.

I'd pass through the door, I’d descend out of view,

Knowing that one day, some day, I’d again be with you.

- Elsie”
― Tillie Cole, quote from Sweet Soul

“While Steve cooked dinner, I sat at one end of the sofa. Rosie lay coiled at the other. I eyed her suspiciously. She eyed me the same way, both of us hoping that we each didn’t just suddenly fling ourselves at the other in attack.”
― Terri Irwin, quote from Steve & Me

“Gotta have my make up, in case I run into Joey and he wants to beat the shit out of me. Gotta look my best! Maybe he'll punch me repeatedly in the kidneys and the stomach so it doesn't mark up my face. He's so thoughtful!”
― George Carlin, quote from When Will Jesus Bring the Pork Chops?

“When you realize someone is trying to hurt you, it hurts less."
"Unless you love them.”
― Shirley Hazzard, quote from The Transit of Venus

About BookQuoters

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.
