Always come back to me.”

“Forget looking angry; Dean Winchester was positively predatory.”
― quote from Twist and Shout


“Well shake it up, baby, now," he began to sing, but before he could any further, he was interrupted by the roar of an engine that nearly had him jumping out of his shoes. He stopped abruptly and turned on his heels, his eyes first meeting a wheel, and the further they traveled up, the more he recognized. It was a motorcycle, the color dark, but he also recognized who was on it. His eyes continued up, and he stopped when he reached the face, and even in the dull light of the street lamp he could see the green eyes of Dean Winchester.”
― quote from Twist and Shout


“Need a ride?" he spoke loud enough to be heard over the engine, and Cas blinked, looking around him before looking back at Dean. "Yeah, you. You're the only one standing there.”
― quote from Twist and Shout


“And it was sort of weird at first, because Castiel didn’t remember what he was supposed to be doing, but the way that he could feel Dean smiling against his lips made his legs feel weak, and the way that he could feel Dean's hips against his own made his head swim.”
― quote from Twist and Shout


“But I can't help falling in love with you," he sang softly, almost a whisper, and Cas could feel his cheeks going red; he felt almost giddy.

"You baffle me, Dean Winchester.”
― quote from Twist and Shout



“It was all so painless, falling in love with Dean.”
― quote from Twist and Shout

That sort of thing. Like being gay was a hobby.”

"Dead serious."

"I want to spend the rest of my life with you, too.”

“It was a mistake, spilled milk, clean it up, no use crying, right?”
― quote from Twist and Shout


“Is he who you think about? When you’re scared? Cas?”

“Don’t say his name here,” Dean whispered harshly, “Don’t do that. Not here.”
― quote from Twist and Shout



“I ain’t seen my lady in thirteen months and I’m scared as hell! Wonder what she’s gonna look like…you ever worry you won’t recognize any of them?”

Dean wanted to say no, but he couldn’t, so he just smiled instead.

He wasn’t afraid of not recognizing Cas.

Dean was far more afraid Cas wouldn’t recognize him.”
― quote from Twist and Shout


“I’m poison,” he muttered. “It’ll get you.”
― quote from Twist and Shout


Popular quotes

“My grandmother used to say God gives us drought years-years drained of happiness-to prepare us for bounteous times. I'm more than ready for bounty.”
― Ellen Hopkins, quote from Smoke


“I didn't think meanness was ever in anyone's destiny. Meanness was a choice.”
― Liesl Shurtliff, quote from Rump: The True Story of Rumpelstiltskin

― L.H. Cosway, quote from Painted Faces


“Beautiful.” “And scary,” Sara said. “It’s not scary at all,” said Artham with a laugh. He ran to the edge of the cliff and jumped. The others gasped and then fell into nervous laughter as he spread his wings and soared out over the water.”
― Andrew Peterson, quote from The Warden and the Wolf King


“But it's not Kit's physique that I'm talking about. It's the way he is, the confidence he has that is beyond his years. He speaks softly-I've never seen him lose his temper or shout-and when he walks into a room, It's like he's a magnet and everything, including the air, is drawn to him. Although I know he can strip an automatic weapon in under ten seconds and is trained to lea d men in battle, I've also seen him siniging lullabies to his baby nieces while he cradles them in his arms, and jump off a pier to save a drowning dog.”
― Mila Gray, quote from Come Back to Me

About BookQuoters

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.
