“I'm going to fuck you, and it’s going to turn your world on its ass when I do. You will be so strung out over my cock, you’ll ache for it like a junkie.”
― Courtney Lane, quote from The Sordid Promise
“I want more. I need more. I want to be the one—the only one in your life. I want you need to me. I want you to pine for me. I want to own every single part of you. I want your mind, body, and heart to be exclusively and implicitly mine.”
― Courtney Lane, quote from The Sordid Promise
“I’ll get you wetter than a banana in a women's prison.”
― Courtney Lane, quote from The Sordid Promise
“You may be imperfect according to the world, but you're perfect in my world.”
― Courtney Lane, quote from The Sordid Promise
“Smile like that while asking me for the moon, and I’ll find some way to give it to you.”
― Courtney Lane, quote from The Sordid Promise
“You haven’t seen how dirty I can be—how dirty I really am. The things I’m holding back from doing to you…would break you, Nik.”
― Courtney Lane, quote from The Sordid Promise
“I’m going to enjoy making you come on my cock, my fingers, and in my mouth. My sex is going to set a standard that no man has ever reached, and nor will another man get a fucking chance to.”
― Courtney Lane, quote from The Sordid Promise

― Courtney Lane, quote from The Sordid Promise
“Come closer.” “I…I need to take a shower.” “I can see the grimace on your face when you walk. Come. Here.” I turned to him and shifted my feet across the floor. “It won’t happen again without a prior discussion. And it will be the first and only time that I don’t make you come. Okay?”
― Courtney Lane, quote from The Sordid Promise
“I’m hooked on an exclusive prescription; generic substitutes won’t do. The black box warning doesn’t mean a thing, because the benefits outweigh the danger. Because the benefits gave me all the things I needed the most.”
― Courtney Lane, quote from The Sordid Promise
“I can’t lie about it. I want to fuck you. I want to fuck you and ruin you for anyone else. Obviously, it isn’t all that I want. Else, I would’ve fucked you the moment those thighs parted. I wanted it. I really wanted it. I want to do it every single time you beg for me with your eyes…your mouth. But, no, I want more. I need more. I want to be the one—the only one in your life. I want you need to me. I want you to pine for me. I want to own every single part of you. I want your mind, body, and heart to be exclusively and implicitly mine.”
― Courtney Lane, quote from The Sordid Promise
“I’m so deep inside your mind that I know you wouldn’t make it very long without me. I know that if you did kill me, I would see you in hell very soon after I got there.” “You’re a monster.” “If I’m a monster, then I’m your monster. You made me this way. You made me kill for you. You…” He stroked my hair. “…altered me. You make me do things to keep you near. You could’ve stayed in that place for six months, like you were supposed to—like your aunt wanted you to—I’m the reason you were released early. You owe me...again.” The knife trembled in my hand as I cried harder. “I know you want to hate me,” he sneered, “but you can’t. You still can’t.”
― Courtney Lane, quote from The Sordid Promise
“Look, I don’t do this,” I said. “I don’t know why I’m doing this—this posturing. I’m not any good at it. I came here to give you back the camera and to talk to you. I thought you’d be alone, so we could talk. But as expected, a guy like you has dogs hot on his scent and—” I looked at Tamala. “—bitches can be very territorial, so I’m going to just go.” Tamala dramatically swung her hips as she approached me. “Did you just call me a dog and a bitch?” “Actually… that was redundant. They are one and the same. So, yes, I did.” Tamala charged after me, forcing Eric to immediately stand between her and me. He”

“Eric and I’s relationship is purely plutonic.”

“My Lord Rupert, who had been listening in rapt admiration to this speech, said in what he imagined to be a whisper: ‘Wonderful, ain’t it, Léonie? Never heard aught to equal it. The boy always talks like that, y’know.”
― Georgette Heyer, quote from Devil's Cub
“Astronomers have recently discovered a massive amount of alcohol in our region of the Milky Way. The giant cloud of methanol measures 288 billion miles across. Although the alcohol we like to drink is grain alcohol (otherwise known as ethyl alcohol or ethanol) and methanol would poison us, the discovery goes some way to supporting the theory that the universe is here so that we can drink it.”
― John Lloyd, quote from The Book of General Ignorance
“You say your life is your own. But can you dare to ignore the chance that you are taking part in a gigantic drama under the orders of a divine Producer? Your cue may not come till the end of the play--it may be totally unimportant, a mere walking-on part, but upon it may hang the issues of the play if you do not give the cue to another player. The whole edifice may crumple. You as you, may not matter to anyone in the world, but you as a person in a particular place may matter unimaginably.”
― Agatha Christie, quote from The Mysterious Mr. Quin
“But somehow, standing in the clear night air, under a sky that glowed like a shower of sparks, none of that stuff mattered. It slipped off me. It was like shedding your clothes before you step in the shower. I felt I was down to essentials again. In fact I felt very close to God at that moment. I guess if you're ever going to feel close to God it'll be while you're looking at the heavens.”
― John Marsden, quote from The Night Is for Hunting
“You knew you had become comfortable when you told him that you watched Jeopardy on the restaurant TV and that you rooted for the following, in this order: women of color, black men, and white women, before, finally, white men—which meant you never rooted for white men.”

Civil Disobedience a...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.
