“I'll never see you that way again. Because Before this, I didn't know you were essential for me to feel alive.”
― Ella Frank, quote from Trust
“I love you,” he said, and as Logan looked at him, he reached for his hands. “I had no idea when you first sat down across from me that night—no idea what I’d been missing,” Tate whispered. “It was you.”
― Ella Frank, quote from Trust
“So I’m daring you. Wake up. Wake up and tell me that you were right. That you’re the best thing that has ever happened to me.” Logan sucked in a shaky breath and then let it out as he ran his eyes over Tate’s body. “And that I never stood a chance. I love you, and I’m not letting you go. Not now, not ever. I can be stubborn too. Got it?”
― Ella Frank, quote from Trust
“There’s something about you,” Tate tried to explain as he traced his fingers along his jaw. “In the way you are. It pulls me in, Logan. I can’t imagine knowing you and not feeling it.”
― Ella Frank, quote from Trust
“I forgot how fucking gorgeous you are when you fall apart for me.”
― Ella Frank, quote from Trust
“The only decision you have to make is whether you come quietly or screaming my name.”
― Ella Frank, quote from Trust
“His motto of “try, take, and top” had changed. Oh, he’d tried Tate all right, and they’d both done a helluva lot of taking, but for once in his life, Logan didn’t feel the desire to win. He didn’t need to come out on top. What he wanted was Tate’s trust—his absolute trust.”
― Ella Frank, quote from Trust
“Now, I know I just couldn’t wait to see you.” He watched Logan’s thick lashes sweep against his cheeks as he blinked, and then he leaned over to place a kiss by his ear. “I’m so glad you kept coming back. Did I ever tell you that?”
― Ella Frank, quote from Trust
“Tate could remember every single detail from that first meeting. From the confused way he’d felt and responded, to exactly what Logan had been wearing. It was unbelievable to think back now and realize that, in that precise moment, he’d met the one person who would turn out to be the most essential in his life. Who would’ve guessed it? Two people from totally different walks of life colliding and having that one moment.”
― Ella Frank, quote from Trust
“That guy—he’s a determined one, and he’s a fighter. He fought for you, didn’t he?”
― Ella Frank, quote from Trust
“I think there’s something about you that just…” Logan pulled him to a stop. “That just?” Tate touched his cheek and simply said, “Calls to a part of me. And I don’t think it would’ve mattered what age we were.”
― Ella Frank, quote from Trust
“Love him,” she whispered. “Love him, and don’t ever stop—not even for a second. Because trust me—losing him feels much worse than standing outside this door right now.”
― Ella Frank, quote from Trust
“Dirty fucker. Could he have found anyone more perfect for him? The answer was simple—hell fucking no. With that thought ringing through his ears, Logan dug his fingers into Tate’s flesh and slowly pushed inside.”
― Ella Frank, quote from Trust
“I’m sure she’d be more than willing to fit you in. I know I always am. In fact, I’d be willing to fit you in right now.”
― Ella Frank, quote from Trust
“I’ll never see you that way again. Because before this, I didn’t know you were essential for me to feel alive.”
― Ella Frank, quote from Trust
“I happen to love the way your crankshaft works. Your piston sliding through my cylinder.”
― Ella Frank, quote from Trust
“Should I be concerned you might be wanting to switch sides here?'"
"'Tate? You never have to worry about that. I happen to love the way your crankshaft works. Your piston sliding through my cylinder.”
― Ella Frank, quote from Trust
“Logan stared at the man across from him, the one who'd stolen his heart months ago, and knew this was their way -- their unique way to settle down.”
― Ella Frank, quote from Trust
“She liked soot, and heat, and grime, and she was beginning to realize, if she didn't actually like her aloneness, she was at least comforted by it. She should be grateful; she knew, she knew. She should be thrilled just to be alive. So why was it she preferred to expect nothing?”
― Alice Hoffman, quote from Blackbird House
“Let no man go beyond or defraud his brother, for, though it be hidden from man, it will be found that God is the avenger of all such.”
― Matthew Henry, quote from Matthew Henry's Commentary on the Whole Bible
“It was the world-without-adults daydream. In my dream I'd never quite figured out where the adults went but we kids were free to roam, to help ourselves to anything we wanted. We'd pick up a Merc from a showroom when we wanted wheels, and when it ran out of petrol we'd get another one. We'd change cars the way I change socks. We'd sleep in different mansions every night, going to new houses instead of putting new sheets on the beds. Life would be one long party.
Yes, that had been the dream.”
― John Marsden, quote from The Dead of Night
“In life, you see, there is not much choice. You have either to rot or to burn. And there is not one of us, painted or unpainted, that would not rather burn than rot.”
― Joseph Conrad, quote from Under Western Eyes
“How do we exorcise one of the Jinn?"
He shrugged. "You got Yellow Pages?"
"Seriously?"
Jai snorted. "Yes, Ari. There are Aissawa Exorcists in the Yellow Pages."
Huffing, Ari walked away from him. "You really need to work on intonation when you use sarcasm. That way people will know when you're being an asshole."
"And you need to work on your gullibility."
"Well, I was under the impression you have no sense of humour so forgive me for believing everything you say."
"Well that should be fun."
"See!" she threw over her shoulder. "No intonation.”
― Samantha Young, quote from Smokeless Fire
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.
