“Money. What the hell were we thinking?”
“Sure, not like I got some place to be. Like with Carly, on top of Carly, possibly even inside Carly…”
“Will decided it wasn’t the cross that was doing all the damage, it was the silver along the edges.”
“So much blood. Where did all the blood come from…?”
“God is God. He doesn’t need me to believe in him for him to do what he does. If that were the case, he wouldn’t be God.”
“There’s a lot you don’t know, Kemosabe. Like women. Kids. And how to avoid women with kids.”
“It is said that if you know your enemies and know yourself, you will not be imperiled in a hundred battles; if you do not know your enemies but do know yourself, you will win one and lose one; if you do not know your enemies nor yourself, you will be imperiled in every single battle.”
“What are you staring at, mister?” “You don’t know, do you?” “Know what? What are you talking about?” “That you’re beautiful.”
“I was thinking how happy I am. Right now. At this moment with you. Even before everything happened, I don’t think I’ve ever been this happy.”
“This is what I do, Will. I sell people on things.”
“She smiled back, and for a split second she wanted to grab his hand and tell him to ignore what was happening out there, to stay with her instead, that they could be happy here, just the two of them.”
“Thanks for coming,” she smiled up at him. “I had no choice. It was either this or find a new girlfriend. As you’ve probably noticed, my history with girlfriends in the post-apocalypse has been pretty hit and miss.”
“One at a time. In a gunfight, your best asset is your ability to aim and fire.”
“They were everywhere. They were simply…everywhere.”
“He put his arms around her, and she felt warm and wanted very much to just let herself be lost inside his arms, to be with him like this forever, the ghouls be damned. Who were they to say who she could or couldn’t be with on the last night of her life?”
“Ready?” “Thanks for coming,” she smiled up at him. “I had no choice. It was either this or find a new girlfriend. As you’ve probably noticed, my history with girlfriends in the post-apocalypse has been pretty hit and miss.”
“I need to get a Kindle version…”
“The place that was supposed to be her salvation had become her prison. She realized that now, more than ever.”
“No shit, Doc. Tell me something I don’t know.” “I once dated a lesbian in college.”
“She smiled back at him, and before she realized it, she blurted out, “I love you.”
“After all, how could you scream if you weren’t even breathing?”
“Would it be better if she couldn’t see what was happening? The end was coming, and she’d rather let it all end in the dark. It would be more merciful that way.”
“Blood was hard to get out. Blood was forever. So what’s the point?”
“She wasn’t that woman anymore, but she was still a woman and they were still men, and that still mattered. Probably even more so now.”
“She wished she knew, and not knowing made it somehow much, much worse.”
“ایزابل از برهنگی به نمایش درآمده [توسط سرخپوستان] استفاده می کرد تا کنجکاوی دیرینه اش را ارضا کند. سال ها از خودش پرسیده بود که مردها و زن ها چه تفاوتی ممکن است داشته باشند. حالا در مرز ناامیدی و سرخوردگی بود، چون به هرحال، این تفاوت خیلی کوچک به نظر می رسید. حتی، آن طور که به ندیمه اش گفت، تفاوت موجود به راحتی در کیف دستی اش جا می گرفت”
“What a company I ended up with,’ Geralt continued, shaking his head. ‘Brothers in arms! A team of heroes! What have I done to deserve it? A poetaster with a lute. A wild and lippy half-dryad, half-woman. A vampire, who’s about to notch up his fifth century. And a bloody Nilfgaardian who insists he isn’t a Nilfgaardian.”
“Almanzo knew that in the whole world there was nothing so beautiful, so fascinating, as beautiful horses. When he thought that it would be years and years before he could have a little colt to teach and take care of, he could hardly bear it.”
“May the gods have mercy on whoever pisses them off, because Zarek and Jericho will have none for them. (Madoc)
You’d better be glad I’m flattered by that. Otherwise I’d gut you. (Zarek)
Ditto. (Jericho)”
“I was a raging slut. No doubt about 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.
