“This entire time I've been closing myself off from love., but it's been the solution all along. I've built walls at every turn. No more.”
― Sara Ella, quote from Unblemished
“Hasn't anyone told you anger is unbecoming?”
― Sara Ella, quote from Unblemished
“What you must first understand is the very nature of the Verity. Humans have a tendency for darkness and light. To choose good or evil. But no such mixture exists for the Verity or the Void. The Void houses no light. The Verity embraces no darkness. So when the Verity seeks a new vessel, it always searches out the purest heart--the person least likely to be swayed by darkness. A heart so true has the capacity to love like no other. And a love like that? It changes a person.”
― Sara Ella, quote from Unblemished
“It's like an addiction, one I battle every day. It appeared at first drink. I was becoming the very thing I feared---my father's son. I wanted to be as far away from that Threshold as possible. I swore I'd never take another sip, no matter how crazy it made me. No matter how much it called to me. Resisting became easier with time.”
― Sara Ella, quote from Unblemished
“How can I make you the vessel of the Void? What kind of love would that be?"
"The greatest kind of all.”
― Sara Ella, quote from Unblemished
“All pain is the same. Only the details are different.”
― Kevin Powers, quote from The Yellow Birds
“There it is! Done! And you didn't even have to fuck me.”
He stared at me.
“But you can still fuck me if you want to,” I offered.
He kept staring at me.
“Like now. Fucking me now would be good,” I prompted.
He kept staring at me.
“Hello?...Calling Kai Mason, girlfriend needs a good fucking, right...about...now.”
That's when he spoke.
And this is what he said.
“God, I love you.”
― Kristen Ashley, quote from Rock Chick Reckoning
“And that makes Mia sad. But it's okay. She'll have Bethany. And me.”
― Maya Banks, quote from Burn
“MOST PEOPLE HAVE heard the phrase ‘Silence is golden’ and many would agree with it. People with screaming children running wild around the house or working in a noisy office. For me, however, it meant something entirely different. Silence consumed my whole life. It suppressed things I could never express. My silence was responsible for my family’s happiness. Silence was my prison. ”
― Natasha Preston, quote from Silence
“—Reflexionó unos segundos, mirando a la mujer sentada frente a él y sintiendo que ella podía hacer su desierto menos parecido a un destierro. Se acordó de la otra mujer que trató unos años atrás, pero la borró de su mente con un esfuerzo deliberado. Si alguna vez encontraba otra compañera, tenía que ser una que conociera y comprendiera lo que era el saber, la erudición, y lo que todo ello exigía de una persona.”
― Isaac Asimov, quote from Prelude to Foundation
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.
