“The complete truth, McKenzie, is I’d do anything for you, but you ask for nothing. You won’t confide in me. You won’t rely on me. You’re so preoccupied trying to decide if you can trust your feelings that you won’t consider giving in to them.”
― Sandy Williams, quote from The Shattered Dark
“How can you be so sure of the way you feel about me?” “You’re human,” Aren says. “You’re the weakest person I know.” The warm, fluttery sensations in my stomach disappear. “Geez, thanks.” He laughs and takes my hands in his before I turn away. “And that makes you the strongest. The most courageous. When I found you on your campus, you fought me. You didn’t give in even though you knew you were outmatched. I was halfway in love with you before we reached Germany.”
― Sandy Williams, quote from The Shattered Dark
“Nothing matters but him and us and this, the way he makes me feel like I’m everything to him. Sometime in the last month, he’s become everything to me.”
― Sandy Williams, quote from The Shattered Dark
“I love you. Sidhe, I know I have no right to tell you this, but I do. I always will.”
― Sandy Williams, quote from The Shattered Dark
“Just over two weeks ago, right after we took the palace, he came to me in Vegas. He told me he’d fight for the chance to be with me, and I chose to give him that chance. I made the right decision. He might have a dark past, but he was strong enough to overcome it. He’s become something good. He’s become someone I respect, and if I have to fight for him now, I will.”
― Sandy Williams, quote from The Shattered Dark
“You told me you wanted time. I’ve given it to you, and I’ll give you as long as you need, McKenzie. I love you.” He tucks a lock of my hair behind my ear. “You’re worth waiting a decade for.”
― Sandy Williams, quote from The Shattered Dark
“If I could undo my past for you, McKenzie, I would. But I don’t have that power. No fae does.”
― Sandy Williams, quote from The Shattered Dark

“One more thing. She wears Patchouli. Every tart in Montmartre wears it. Place Pigalle reeks of it. If she wants to carry out her pose as an aristocrat, she ought to refine her tastes.”

“It was apparent that materialism was in complete control of the economic structure, the final objective of which was for the individual to become part of a system providing an economic security at the expense of the human soul, mind, and body.”

“– Мисля, че аз най-добре мога да преценя какво им е нужно.
- Не – каза Жакмор. – Те най-добре могат да преценят.
- Това е абсурдно – отсече Клемантин. – Тези деца са изложени на постоянни рискове, както, между другото, и всички деца.
- Те имат средства за защита, каквито вие нямате – каза Жакмор.
- В края на краищата вие не ги обичате така, както ги обичам аз и не изпитвате това, което изпитвам аз.
Жакмор замълча за миг.
- Много естествено – каза накрая той. – Как бих могъл да ги обичам по този начин?
- Само една майка може да разбере това – рече Клемантин.
- Но птиците умират в клетка – каза Жакмор.
- Много добре си живеят – отвърна Клемантин – Това е дори единственото място, където човек може прилично да се грижи за тях.
- Добре – каза Жакмор. – Виждам, че не може нищо да се направи.
Той стана.
- Трябва да се сбогувам с вас. Сигурно повече няма да се видим.
- Когато свикнат – рече тя, - може би ще мога да се отбивам от време на време в селото. Всъщност изобщо не разбирам вашите възражения, след като и вие в крайна сметка ще се затворите по същия начин.
- Но аз не затварям другите – отвърна Жакмор.
- Моите деца и аз сме едно цяло – каза Клемантин. – Аз толкова ги обичам.
- Имате странно разбиране за света.
- Същото мислех и за вас. В моето няма нищо странно. Светът това са те.
- Не, не, вие бъркате. Вие искате да бъдете техният свят! И в този смисъл разбирането ви е унищожително.
Той стана и излезе от стаята. Клемантин го проследи с поглед. Не изглежда щастлив, си помисли я. Сигурно майка му му е липсвала.”
― Boris Vian, quote from Heartsnatcher
“Blood trickles from my throat, on to Kate's white nightgown. She screams at the sight. 'Jarrod, you're bleeding!'

A Shade of VampireBookQuoters 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.
