“I’ve never been so jealous of water before.” His fingers slid over my skin. “How it can touch you everywhere— all at once.”
“I will have you do things you never thought possible, but I can also bring you a pleasure you never imagined.”
“If you choose to wear this, you’ll be marked as mine. Mine to do with as I wish. You will obey me and never question what I tell you to do.”
“There's a special place in hell for people who mistreat animals.”
“You were the goddess I longed to worship. My unobtainable dream. The relationship I could never hope to have.”
“We could have slept anywhere and I wouldn’t have cared. His arms were the heaven I never wanted to leave.”
“In that moment, I understood that love and hate were opposite sides of the same coin. For as much as I’d loved Nathaniel ten minutes ago, I hated him now.”
“I’m going to fuck you during the Super Bowl, Abigail.” He bit down on my earlobe, and I sucked in a breath. “As long as you’re quiet, no one will know.”
“His lips were smooth and strong, and his tongue stroked mine with a passion and yearning that curled my toes. And we weren’t dom and sub; we weren’t master and servant; we weren’t even man and woman. We were lovers...”
“I never want to leave this shower,” he said, thrusting. “Never want to leave you. ’Cause I’m never going to fucking get enough.”
“All of life is faith. Just because something has a label doesn't mean it's always going to match the inside. Trust me. Sometimes it takes more faith to believe the label.”
“Don't be afraid of what's on the inside. I can make a masterpiece with the insides.”
“Devote the mind to confusion and we know only too well, if we´re honest, that it will become a dark master of confusion, adept in its addictions, subtle and perversely supple in its slaveries. Devote it in meditation to the task of freeing itself from illusion, and we will find that, with time, patience, discipline, and the right training, our mind will begin to unknot itself and know its essential bliss and clarity.”
“What I understand now is this: There is no harder job than parenting. There is no human relationship with such potential for great achievement and awful destructiveness, and despite all the experts who write about it, no one has the slightest idea whether any decision will be right or best or even not-horrible for any particular child. It is a job that simply cannot be done right.”
“I want to believe there's a God. Because I sure as hell know there's a devil.”
“… DE NINCS ITTHON HAL.
– Rendben – felelte Fogatlan. – Eszem macskát.”

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.
