“Not everyone sees you the way you do. Sometimes our imperfections are what makes us special. - Tripp”
“There is someone out there that will love you.They'll want you for you.Don't settle for less.Life is short and I'm tired of wasting it”
“Loosing you would be the only thing that could destroy me”
“I loved her. I loved her with a something so fierce I couldn't even name it.”
“You are mine. Do you hear me? You are mine, Della Sloane. I will take care of you. Nothing is taking you away from me. Nothing.”
“Don't miss out on the love of a good women,son. No matter what that old man of yours tells you,love is real.I'd have never had the success in my life without the women right there.She's been my backbone.She's been my reason for everything I've ever done.One day your drive to make a name for yourself will begin to drift away. It won't be that important anymore.But when you're doing it for someone else, someone you would move heaven and earth for then you never lose the desire to succeed.I can't imagine this world without her in it.I don't ever want to.”
“Is she forever for you then? She's worth throwing it all away?"
"She's it. No one else. She's all I'm ever going to want.”
“Because I can’t live without Della. I don’t want to. She’s the reason I get up in the mornings - Woods”
“I love you. I'll never leave you and I swear to you sweetheart that you will never be alone.”
“Were you already here?" he asked.
"Yeah."
"Didn't you just bring her home from work two hours ago?"
"Yeah."
Tripp chuckled and shook his head. "Did you even leave?"
"No.”
“I dont want to destroy you - Della
Losing you would be the only thing that could destroy me - Woods”
“You're it for me, baby. Just you. You're not going to be your mother. You're special and unique and we're going to get you help. But I will be right by your side the entire time. I'll never leave you. I swear it.”
“You love me?” …
“Yes. More than life.”
“I am in awe of the things you've been put through and the fact you can still light up a room when you walk in. When I look at you I see life. I see joy. I see my future.”
“Anyone who meets you and doesn't want to get to know you and be part of your life is stupid. I saw it when I was just a kid."
"No. You thought I was a vampire and you wanted to be my friend so I wouldn't eat you."
"Well, that too. But I found out soon enough you weren't a blood sucker and I still licked you.”
“If I had a life with Woods to look forward to I knew I could fight whatever darkness that tried to take me. Before Woods, I didnt know what I was living for. In my search to find myself, Id found so much more. I knew now why I wanted to live. I understood love. I had found it.”
“Fuck, woman, you’re every damn fantasy I’ve ever had.”
“Last question. Why do you love Della? - Braden
Until Della walked into my life I didn’t understand the idea of love. I had never been in love and experienced very little love in my life. But I’d seen it once -Woods”
“I’ll be whatever she needs me to be. I can’t walk away from her; I tried. I’m hooked. And now I’m about to lose my mind because I don’t know how to help her. I just need to go find her and hold her the rest of the damn day. I need to know she’s okay.”
“She’s the woman I love. The woman my sick fucker of a father doesn’t want me to love”
“Identifying pain in others was easy for me. I was drawn to it in some strange perverse way.”
“When you get inside go change into something loose and baggy. And for all that's holy, please wear panties and a bra.”
“In my search to find myself, I’d found so much more. I knew now why I wanted to live. I understood love. I had found it.”
“But you… you have no fucking clue how unbelievably beautiful and desirable you are. You’re not calculating and selfish. And you make me want to be better. --Woods”
“She was crazy. I could be too. It was my greatest fear, that I'd snap one day too. Just like she had. I wanted to live life because if that day came I wanted to have lived once.”
“Losing you would be the only thing that could destroy me.”
“Don’t miss out on the love of a good woman, son. No matter what that old man of yours tells you, love is real. I’d have never had the success in my life without that woman right there. She’s been my backbone. She’s been my reason for everything I’ve ever done. One day your drive to make a name for yourself will begin to drift away. It won’t be that important anymore. But when you’re doing it for someone else, someone you would move heaven and earth for then you never lose the desire to succeed. I can’t imagine this world without her in it. I don’t even want to.”
“I wanted to live. For the father and brother who I never knew and for my mother who was cheated of a life of happiness. I wanted to live for them. And I wanted to live for me.”
“I’m just throwing this out there. I’m making a move on her. Your ass is engaged. So, you can get all pissed and shit but I’m still making a move. She’s hot and completely worth the ass kicking.”
“One day your drive to make a name for yourself will begin to drift away. It won't be that important anymore. But when you're doing it for someone else, someone you would move heaven and earth for then you never lose the desire to succeed.”
“She tries to wear her pain on the inside. She always has. It’s the trademark of the oldest sibling, I think.”
“She felt almost spellbound by him, as if he were a magnet pulling her to him.”
“Si crees en los sueños, ellos se crearán.”
“Dear Journal, I just realized that the key to advertising can be summed up in one word: Bullshit.”
“Traditional religious beliefs have been eroded, not so much by humiliating disproofs of their mythologies as by the growing awareness that beliefs are really enabling mechanisms for survival. Religions,”
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.
