“They say fifty lashes will kill a man. So I'll spare you the last one.”
― Jade Parker, quote from To Catch a Pirate
“He wouldn’t charm her. She’d almost forgot what his kiss tasted like., felt like. She only remembered it when she drifted into dreams. Then it became so vivid, so real. To her mortification, she always felt a little thrill. Her life had been filled with gentlemen of the finest quality. James Sterling was like none of them, he was unpolished. A diamond in the rough. A scoundrel. A pirate.”
― Jade Parker, quote from To Catch a Pirate
“Better to face the devil than have him at your back.”
― Jade Parker, quote from To Catch a Pirate
“I’ll always be there, Anna, in every ship you see sailing past. I’ll be the wind in its sail.”
― Jade Parker, quote from To Catch a Pirate
“How did you come to be a pirate?”
“I was aboard a pirate ship.”
She rolled her eyes at him. “How did you come to be aboard a pirate ship?”
― Jade Parker, quote from To Catch a Pirate
“When she returned to her cabin, Dr.Gabriel was already there examining Sterling's back. Sterling lay on his stomach, on her bunk, his eyes closed. She wondered if he was sleeping. She doubted it. He was probably unconscious. Or perhaps he'd closed his eyes in order to hide what he was feeling.”
― Jade Parker, quote from To Catch a Pirate
“Her heart lurched and tears burned her eyes. “Surely you can escape.”
“Not this time.” He captured a tear that rolled down her cheek. “Don’t cry. You’ve given me more joy than I’ve ever known.”
“It’s not enough.”
He gave her a sad grin. “That’s how pirates are made. The plunder we take is never enough. We’re never content with what we have. We always want more.”
― Jade Parker, quote from To Catch a Pirate
“Keep telling yourself that, m'lady. Maybe you'll come to believe it.”
― Jade Parker, quote from To Catch a Pirate
“You were his protector, yet he betrayed you.”
James shrugged. “Odd thing is, I know if I asked, he’d die for me.”
She studied him for a moment. “But you’d never ask.”
“Nay. I never would.”
“You’re a complicated man, James Sterling.” She said softly.”
― Jade Parker, quote from To Catch a Pirate
“You're the only treasure I'll ever need.”
― Jade Parker, quote from To Catch a Pirate
“She’d looked so beautiful standing there, gazing out to sea. Crimson had once told him a tale about Sirens, magical creatures that lived on an island. Their songs lured mariners to their destruction – their ships were destroyed by the rocks surrounding the island. And even knowing that death awaited them, they couldn’t resist the lure of the Sirens’ song.”
― Jade Parker, quote from To Catch a Pirate

“To me this out-of-the way corner was always a wonderful and a mysterious place, where my castles in the air stood close together in radiant rows, and where the strangest and most splendid adventures befell me; for the hours I passed in it and the people I met in it were all enchanted.”
― Elizabeth von Arnim, quote from Elizabeth and Her German Garden
“We’ll keep you safe--I’ll keep you safe.” Kiernan pushed himself up off the bed and came to sit next to me. “Come on,” he said, reaching out a tentative arm and putting it around my shoulders. “I just got you back. I’m not going to let you die.”

“Ayúdalo a entender que “nuestra lucha no es contra seres humanos, sino contra poderes, contra autoridades, contra potestades que dominan este mundo de tinieblas, contra fuerzas espirituales malignas en las regiones celestiales” (Efesios 6:12). Oro para que esté fuerte en el Señor y que se ponga toda la armadura de Dios, para que pueda hacer frente a las artimañas del diablo en el día malo. Ayúdalo a ceñir sus lomos con el cinturón de la verdad y protegerse con la coraza de justicia, calzados sus pies con la disposición de proclamar el evangelio de la paz. Ayúdalo a tomar el escudo de la fe, con el cual pueda apagar todas las flechas encendidas del maligno. Oro para que tome el yelmo de la salvación, y la espada del Espíritu, la cual es la Palabra de Dios, orando siempre en el Espíritu con toda oración y súplica, vigilando y manteniéndose”
― Stormie Omartian, quote from The Power of a Praying Wife

Life As We Knew ItBookQuoters 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.
