“He stands in the doorway like a dark angel. His hair curls a little around his face, softening the hard perfection of his features. His eyes are trained on my face, and his lips are curved in a slight smile. He's stunning. And utterly terrifying. My instincts had been right--this man is capable of anything.”
― Anna Zaires, quote from Twist Me
“He turns me inside out, take me apart, and puts me back together—all in the span of one night.”
― Anna Zaires, quote from Twist Me
“We look at each other--predator and prey, the conqueror and the conquered--and in that moment, I feel an odd sort of connection to him. Like a part of myself is forever altered by what's happening between us.”
― Anna Zaires, quote from Twist Me
“The devil does indeed wear a beautiful mask.”
― Anna Zaires, quote from Twist Me
“It’s not the sweet, tender kind of love I always dreamed of, but it’s love. Dark, twisted, and obsessive, it’s both a compulsion and an addiction.”
― Anna Zaires, quote from Twist Me
“I can feel the darkness inside him. There’s something wrong with him. His outer beauty hides something monstrous underneath.”
― Anna Zaires, quote from Twist Me
“I’m as relaxed as I’ve been since waking up on this island. If I hadn’t been blindfolded, bound, and sodomized, I would’ve thought I was in a spa.”
― Anna Zaires, quote from Twist Me
“And I know that’s what this feeling is. Lust. Hormones, pure and simple.”
― Anna Zaires, quote from Twist Me
“Normal men don’t kidnap girls from the park. They don’t drug them and bring them to a private island.”
― Anna Zaires, quote from Twist Me
“it was like to want to hurt someone, to crave their death.”
― Anna Zaires, quote from Twist Me
“Evil is someone who would murder a child,” Beth says, staring at the bright blue water. “Evil is someone who would sell his thirteen-year-old daughter to a Mexican brothel…”

“If she’d been born in an African tribe she might have been a witch doctor.”
― Agatha Christie, quote from Cat Among the Pigeons
“Let’s try it,” he said.
“This is serious,” she said. “You could get hurt. Or die.”
“But if we can touch, that means we can make out, right?” he asked.
“Maybe.”
“You want me to risk my life for maybe?” He grinned.”
― J.L. Bryan, quote from Jenny Pox
“I was his weakness, when all I wanted was to be his strength”
― Sylvia Day, quote from One with You
“I think he should be fed to a pack of wild wolves,” Mairin muttered. “Perhaps tied between two trees and left to bleed to attract predators.” Ewan and his brothers gaped at her in astonishment. “Or we could simply drag him behind a horse for a few miles?” she asked hopefully. Caelen died laughing. “Bloodthirsty lass. I love it! She’s fierce, Ewan. I like your wife very much.” “You would,” Ewan muttered. Ewan looked at his wife in exasperation. “I was going to suggest we kill him and get it over with since he’s not going to survive your dagger to the belly anyway.” “ ’Tis too quick a death,” she said with a sniff. “I think he should be made to suffer.” Ewan frowned and she relented with a sigh. “Oh, very well. Kill him quickly. But he’s not to be buried on McCabe land. You can feed his corpse to the buzzards, can’t you?” Ewan shook his head and laughed at her hopeful tone. He gathered her in his arms and squeezed her until she couldn’t breathe. “Aye, lass, we can feed his corpse to the predators. Will it make you feel better to imagine his eyeballs plucked from their sockets?”
― Maya Banks, quote from In Bed with a Highlander
“Eddie would have loved the publicity. His old friends said he should have worn a T-shirt emblazoned ‘I am a Spy for MI5.’ The last time I met him he described how he had missed a fortune in ermine (to be used in coronation robes) during a furs robbery, because he thought it was rabbit. He also said he successfully convinced a German au pair girl that he was a post office telephone engineer, and robbed the wall safe. He was also once visited by an income tax inspector, and produced a doctor’s certificate that he had a weak heart and could not be ‘caused stress.’ Ten minutes later, he drove, in a Rolls-Royce, past the inspector waiting in the rain at a bus stop, and gave him a little wave.”

Lillian Boxfish Take...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.
