“I wanted you to fall. And I wanted to catch you.”
― Ginger Scott, quote from This is Falling
“...You are the first thing I think about in the morning and the last thing I think about at night. You are the face in all of my dreams and the smile I see when I close my eyes. Your voice when you sing in the shower late at night, when you think you’re alone, is like music to my ears...”
― Ginger Scott, quote from This is Falling
“That mother-"
"Hey, watch what you're about to call the guy standing at your door," Nate says.
"That motherly, wonderful, down-the-hall neighbour of mine. What's wrong with saying that?”
― Ginger Scott, quote from This is Falling
“I am willing to wait for whatever pieces she’s willing to give. And if I have to help her make each piece whole first, then so be it.”
― Ginger Scott, quote from This is Falling
“You ever make wishes?” -Nate
“All the time,” ... “You?” -Rowe
“Nah,” ... “I just made my first one in years.” -Nate
“Oh yeah? You want Barbie back?” -Rowe
“No,” he smiles. “I wished you were over here instead of there.” -Nate”
― Ginger Scott, quote from This is Falling
“She starts spinning slowly in a circle, laughing. And then it’s there - the smile. The same look she had on her face in that picture. It’s joy. And I just gave it to her.
My god, do I want to give it to her again.”
― Ginger Scott, quote from This is Falling
“I’m not angry at Rowe, I’m angry at myself for falling for her—for falling for a girl who can’t let herself be mine to love.”
― Ginger Scott, quote from This is Falling
“And it happens all at once—just looking at him, I fall in love. But it doesn’t matter—because I can belong to no one.”
― Ginger Scott, quote from This is Falling
“I don’t play games, Rowe. I’m just…I just don’t,” he says against my ear. “I will wait, but I won’t wait forever.”
― Ginger Scott, quote from This is Falling
“I feel like I just won an award. I might even make a T-shirt that says I gave Rowe Stanton her first orgasm.”
“Nate! Don’t even joke…” I start, but stop when he starts to tickle my sides, making me laugh uncontrollably.
Oh no. I’m doing it. And I’m making hats, too. And…oh yeah! I’m going to make one for Ty that says ‘My brother gave Rowe Stanton her first orgasm.”
― Ginger Scott, quote from This is Falling
“I hear your second one is pretty crazy about you, too. ( Yeah, that last part is totally me).
Your. Forever.
Josh.
And Nate.”
― Ginger Scott, quote from This is Falling
“I am willing to wait for whatever pieces she’s willing to give. And if I have to help her make each piece whole first, then so be it”
― Ginger Scott, quote from This is Falling
“You’re Rowe Stanton, a freshman from Arizona, and you’re here with honors. You haven’t picked a major yet, though I can tell from the small things you said during our walk over here that you really like art. You should think about that. You used to play tennis, and I bet you could still kick my ass, and you don’t wear socks with your sneakers. I like that. It’s hot.”
― Ginger Scott, quote from This is Falling
“I like Rowe’s dad. “We’ll see you again for dinner, okay?” I turn around to walk backward to answer him, doing my best to fall somewhere between fast and slow with my walk because, hell, I don’t want my pitchers hating me. “Looking forward to it, Tom. I’ll see you at sex.” Motherfucker. I just said sex”
― Ginger Scott, quote from This is Falling
“I gotta go but... I miss you. That's all."
"I miss you too", I say hugging my body tightly with the sleeves of his shirt.
This... Is falling.”

“If the Treasury were to fill old bottles with banknotes, bury them at suitable depths in disused coalmines which are then filled up to the surface with town rubbish, and leave it to private enterprise on well-tried principles of laissez-faire to dig the notes up again (the right to do so being obtained, of course, by tendering for leases of the note-bearing territory), there need be no more unemployment and, with the help of the repercussions, the real income of the community, and its capital wealth also, would probably become a good deal greater than it actually is. It would, indeed, be more sensible to build houses and the like; but if there are political and practical difficulties in the way of this, the above would be better than nothing.”
― John Maynard Keynes, quote from The General Theory of Employment, Interest, and Money
“Bond came to the conclusion that Tilly Masterton was one of those girls whose hormones had got mixed up. He knew the type well and thought they and their male counterparts were a direct consequence of giving votes to women and 'sex equality.' As a result of fifty years of emancipation, feminine qualities were dying out or being transferred to the males. Pansies of both sexes were everywhere, not yet completely homosexual, but confused, not knowing what they were. The result was a herd of unhappy sexual misfits--barren and full of frustrations, the women wanting to dominate and the men to be nannied. He was sorry for them, but he had no time for them.”

“El amor es siempre la posibilidad de presenciar el nacimiento de un mundo.”

“During our lives all of us will experience opportunities for change which involve risk. These occasions may come at inconvenient times. We may not act upon them, but the challenge is there for us. The purpose of reincarnation is the exercise of free will. Without this ability, we would be impotent creatures indeed.”
― Michael Newton, quote from Journey of Souls: Case Studies of Life Between Lives
“Rest in your God-breathed worth. Stop holding your breath, hiding your gifts, ducking your head, dulling your roar, distracting your soul, stilling your hands, quieting your voice, and satiating your hunger with the lesser things of this world.”

La casa de Bernarda...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.
