“Son, you think I had seven boys because I winked at your mother?”
― Nicole Edwards, quote from Travis
“I love you Travis. I've loved you since the day I met you. It killed me that you walked away, but it was the right thing to do. We weren't ready. We weren't ready because we weren't complete. We needed to wait for Gage to find us.”
― Nicole Edwards, quote from Travis
“For fuck’s sake, have you not figured it out yet? You’re the only woman I’ve ever loved.”
― Nicole Edwards, quote from Travis
“And if Travis was chocolate, then Gage was… donuts. Yes, sweet, flaky donuts. And the only thing better than donuts and chocolate was… well, donuts covered in chocolate.”
― Nicole Edwards, quote from Travis
“Kylie was tempted to look down and see if her panties went “poof” right off her body. That was a devious smile, and there was no mistaking what he was getting at.”
― Nicole Edwards, quote from Travis
“If Gage kept up this perfect gentleman routine, she was going to have to buy stock in Duracell or Energizer just so she could function on a daily basis.”
― Nicole Edwards, quote from Travis
“Travis felt like a damn teenager who’d just been told by the hot girl that she’d jack him off behind the school.”
― Nicole Edwards, quote from Travis
“He needed this woman more than he needed to breathe. Air was suddenly an extraneous element that meant little without this woman’s taste flooding his tongue.”
― Nicole Edwards, quote from Travis
“Whatever it is you want, whatever it is you need, I suggest you go after it. Sitting back and pretending otherwise will get you nowhere in life, boy. And if you ever need to talk, about anything, you know your mother and I will always listen.”
― Nicole Edwards, quote from Travis
“I want to hear you come while Gage fucks you with his tongue. You’re so damn hot like this, pressed between us. So fucking hot.”
― Nicole Edwards, quote from Travis
“Oh, if you’re looking for your friends, they’re in that hallway over there,” Jess said as she pointed. “I’m not sure I’d interrupt them right now though.” “Why’s that?” Kylie feared she’d been right and maybe they were beating one another to a pulp. Jessie leaned closer, lowering her voice to a mere whisper. “They’re kinda making out at the moment.”
― Nicole Edwards, quote from Travis
“We hardly ever realize that we can cut anything out of our lives, anytime, in the blink of an eye.”
― Carlos Castaneda, quote from Journey to Ixtlan
“I can't even remember the first time I saw a porno. I presume I must have been shocked, frightened even, but after watching another and another and another they sort of blend into nothingness.”
― Louise O'Neill, quote from Only Ever Yours
“Trench fighting is the bloodiest, wildest, most brutal of all ... Of all the war's exciting moments none is so powerful as the meeting of two storm troop leaders between narrow trench walls. There's no mercy there, no going back, the blood speaks from a shrill cry of recognition that tears itself from one's breast like a nightmare.”
― Ernst Jünger, quote from Storm of Steel
“Nora was eating a piece of cold duck with one hand and working on a jig-saw puzzle with the other when I got home.
"I thought you'd gone to live with her," she said. "You used to be a detective: find me a brownish piece shaped something like a snail with a long neck."
"Piece of duck or puzzle?...”
― Dashiell Hammett, quote from The Thin Man
“if no resistances or obstacles face you, you must create them. No seduction can proceed without them.”
― Robert Greene, quote from The Art of Seduction
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.
