Quotes from The Professional: Part 2

“If you became mine, I wouldn’t let you go.” His words were clipped, as if he was biting back frenzy. “Understand me, if I’m your first lover— I will be your last.” The ringing tone of finality chilled me. “And I would kill any man who thought to touch what was mine.”
― Kresley Cole, quote from The Professional: Part 2

“Seriously, you have no idea how much your situation is affecting me. I’ve been stress-eating my way across Greece.”
I frowned. “You don’t stress-eat—”
“Cock, Natalie. I was stress-eating cock. There, you made me say it, happy now?”
“Opa!”
“Twat.”
“Bitch.”
― Kresley Cole, quote from The Professional: Part 2

“Don’t close me out.” He curled his finger under my chin, all tenderness, even as he said, “How could I close you out when I never let you in?”
― Kresley Cole, quote from The Professional: Part 2

“In all these interludes with Sevastyan, I hadn’t been Natalie. I’d been Natalya. And that brainless hussy didn’t seem to know better.”
― Kresley Cole, quote from The Professional: Part 2

“You’re a smart girl. You’re going to replay everything we’ve done, and you’re going to reach the same conclusion I have.” He moved in close, leaning down to kiss my jawline and lower.
“And wh- what conclusion is that?” When had he discovered how sensitive my neck was? With one spot in particular. . .
He pressed his lips directly to my pulse point, making my knees weak. “Eto ne izbezhno dlya nas.” You and I are inevitable.”
― Kresley Cole, quote from The Professional: Part 2

“The last thing we learn about ourselves is our effect.”
― William Boyd, quote from Brazzaville Beach

“What would happen in your marriage, husband, if you devoted yourself to loving, honoring, and serving your wife in all things? What if you determined that the preservation of your oneness with this woman was worth every sacrifice and expression of love you could make? What if you wisely navigated through conversations and misunderstandings in such a way to guard the unity between you?”
― quote from The Love Dare

“and I live alone everywhere. Altogether”
― Walter Tevis, quote from The Man Who Fell to Earth

“When the solution to a given problem doesn’t lay right before our eyes, it is easy to assume that no solution exists. But history has shown again and again that such assumptions are wrong. This is not to say the world is perfect. Nor that all progress is always good. Even widespread societal gains inevitably produce losses for some people. That’s why the economist Joseph Schumpeter referred to capitalism as “creative destruction.” But humankind has a great capacity for finding technological solutions to seemingly intractable problems, and this will likely be the case for global warming. It isn’t that the problem isn’t potentially large. It’s just that human ingenuity—when given proper incentives—is bound to be larger. Even more encouraging, technological fixes are often far simpler, and therefore cheaper, than the doomsayers could have imagined. Indeed, in the final chapter of this book we’ll meet a band of renegade engineers who have developed not one but three global-warming fixes, any of which could be bought for less than the annual sales tally of all the Thoroughbred horses at Keeneland auction house in Kentucky.”
― Steven D. Levitt, quote from SuperFreakonomics: Global Cooling, Patriotic Prostitutes And Why Suicide Bombers Should Buy Life Insurance

“Su rabia y pérdida, la entiendo perfectamente, y no la culpo en lo más mínimo. No hay peor sensación que tener todo tu mundo destrozado y que no haya nada que puedas hacer para detenerlo. Sentirte en completa y absoluta miseria, y mirar alrededor y ver un mundo que en realidad no da una mierda por ti... eso te golpea a un nivel que agradezco a los dioses no puedas entender o imaginar. Porque nadie debería conocer ese tipo de infierno. Estás perdido en el dolor, gritando a pleno pulmón pidiendo ayuda y nadie te escucha. A nadie le importa. Ellos siguen con sus putrefactas vidas, ajenos a tu agonía. Y cuando llega el momento en que te das cuenta de lo solo que estás... de lo poco que les importas a otras personas, pierdes todo el funcionamiento cognitivo. Te conviertes en un animal rabioso. Todo lo que importa entonces es que les hagas comprender tu dolor. Sacarlos de su ciega autocomplacencia para que compartan ese infierno tuyo. En ese momento, quieres sentir su sangre en las manos. Saborearla en tus labios. Bañarte en ella hasta estar borracho y tener la piel arrugada. Ese es el lugar de locura que vive profundamente dentro de todos. La mayoría de la gente puede tocarlo una, quizás dos veces en su vida, pero jamás llegan a traspasarlo.”
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, quote from Time Untime

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.
