“What if I don’t choose you, Kellan? What will you do?”
He looked away, a tear rolling down his cheek. “I’ll leave, Kiera. I’ll leave, and you and Denny can have your happily ever after.” He looked back at me. “You wouldn’t even need to tell him about me. Eventually, the two of you…” his voice broke and another tear fell on his cheek, “the two of you would get married, and have children, and have a great life.”
I fought back a sob. “And you? What happens to you in that scenario?”
“I…get by. And I miss you, every day,” he whispered.”
― S.C. Stephens, quote from Thoughtless
“I think in the end, you would have stayed with me, out of obligation...or maybe comfort. Maybe I was safe to you, and you needed to feel that. I know how scared you get of the unknown. To you...I must be kind of a security blanket. Do you see now, how that doesn't work for me? I don't want to be there, simply because the idea of me being gone is too...scary. I want to be someone's everything. I want fire and passion, and love that's returned, equally. I want to be someone's heart... Even if it means breaking my own.”
― S.C. Stephens, quote from Thoughtless
“If I'm yours and you're mine...then I will take you, wherever and whenever I can.”
― S.C. Stephens, quote from Thoughtless
“Do you really think anyone in this world, compares to you in my eyes?”
― S.C. Stephens, quote from Thoughtless
“He said I was his heart, and you don’t leave your heart behind. You can’t live without your heart.”
― S.C. Stephens, quote from Thoughtless
“I want to be someone's everything. I want fire and passion, and love that's returned, equally. I want to be someone's heart.”
― S.C. Stephens, quote from Thoughtless
“I don't know how to let you back in." My heart beat spiked and I closed my eyes when he whispered," I don't know how to keep you out either.”
― S.C. Stephens, quote from Thoughtless
“He spoke rapidly in-between his tender kisses. "I love you. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. The women...I was so scared to touch you. You didn't want me...I couldn't take the pain. I tried to get over you. Every time with them, I was with you. I'm so sorry...I love you.”
― S.C. Stephens, quote from Thoughtless
“No time spent with you is wasted.”
― S.C. Stephens, quote from Thoughtless
“I need you. Let me do this. I can make you forget him. I can make you forget you.”
― S.C. Stephens, quote from Thoughtless
“It was heartfelt, it was heartbreaking. It was extreme joy, it was bone-crushing grief. It was fiery hot, it was icy-cold. It was true love sprouting... it was true love dying.
It's like we were both trying to hold onto something that was slipping through our fingers, and we didn't understand why.”
― S.C. Stephens, quote from Thoughtless
“I know there's something here. I know you want more. Tell me...and it's yours.”
― S.C. Stephens, quote from Thoughtless
“We were never innocent, Kiera. How naive are you? (Kellan)”
― S.C. Stephens, quote from Thoughtless
“I know...and I love you. But I don't think we love each other in the same way. And...I think keeping you near me, would destroy me.”
― S.C. Stephens, quote from Thoughtless
“He relaxed and looked at my lips and then my eyes and then back to my lips. “How do we do that? This is what we do…back and forth, back and forth. You want me, you want him. You love me, you love him. You like me, you hate me, you want me, you don’t want me, you love me…you leave me. There’s so much that went wrong before…”
― S.C. Stephens, quote from Thoughtless
“Can you lose something that was never yours to begin with?" - Keira”
― S.C. Stephens, quote from Thoughtless
“God, you're sucking all the fun out of our friendship.”
― S.C. Stephens, quote from Thoughtless
“His eyes were still closed and his body rocked gently to the music, but his face was almost...desolate. His words matched his face, as he sang about how each day was a struggle, and never seeing my face caused him physical pain. He sang that "my face was his light, and he felt drenched in darkness without it." Tears fell freely after I heard that line.”
― S.C. Stephens, quote from Thoughtless
“Obviously, I lied, Kiera!" he yelled back. "If you haven't noticed, I do that! And what does it matter anyway? She wanted me, you didn't. What do you care if I-"
"Because you're mine!" I yelled back at him, quite unintentionally. Of course, he wasn't actually mine ....
The immediate silence after that was deafening. Kellan's face paled and then slowly got very, very angry. "No, no I'm not! THAT'S THE WHOLE FUCKING POINT!”
― S.C. Stephens, quote from Thoughtless
“It's okay... it will be okay. You're just young. Your'e young and inexperienced, and Kellan is hotter than all fuck.”
― S.C. Stephens, quote from Thoughtless
“There were so many secrets between us now, it was hard remembering a time when things had been simple & easy, when it had felt like pure puppy love. I suppose all love eventually comes back down to earth.”
― S.C. Stephens, quote from Thoughtless
“I gently grabbed his face with my hands. "Don't leave me. You are mine...and I'm yours. I want you...and you can have me.”
― S.C. Stephens, quote from Thoughtless
“I’m in love with you,” he whispered, searching my eyes. He looked very pale and very scared, and a little…hopeful.”
― S.C. Stephens, quote from Thoughtless
“Our reconnection was intense and deeply emotional, like much of our relationship had been. He muttered things to me while we made love—how beautiful he thought I was, how much he’d missed me, how much he needed me, how empty he’d been, how much he loved me. I couldn’t even speak to tell him I felt the exact same way. I was too overcome by the emotion in his voice. Then he said something that tore me.
“Don’t leave…I don’t want to be alone.” He had actual tears in his eyes as he looked down on me. “I don’t want to be alone, anymore.” ~Kellan”
― S.C. Stephens, quote from Thoughtless
“I tried to do the right thing. Why couldn't you just let me leave?" (Kellan)”
― S.C. Stephens, quote from Thoughtless
“Between pants, I continued spewing how much I hated him. Around my lips, he kept telling me I didn't.”
― S.C. Stephens, quote from Thoughtless
“I’ve never wanted anyone, like I want you. Every girl is you to me. You’re all I see…you’re all I want.”
― S.C. Stephens, quote from Thoughtless
“Where do we go from here?"-Kiera
"We go nowhere."-Denny”

Got you. Not letting you go.
I realised I wasn't alone in mental deep space; he had always been there and could pilot me home.”
― Joss Stirling, quote from Seeking Crystal
“He yanked his t-shirt out of his jeans, pulled a penknife out of his pocket, cut away the hem and pressed it against my temple. This must have meant he didn’t have tissues in the glove box.”

Shugo Chara!, Vol. 1...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.
