“Cohen starts smiling and nods his head. “This is good, Daddy. I knew my angels would give me sisters. I asked them.” Melissa stops laughing and grabs my hand. “What do you mean, baby?” she asks on a whisper. “I asked Nana, Mommy Fia, and Auntie Grace to give me a sister. I said I wanted a sister more than anything in the world so I can look out for her like Daddy looks out for you.”
― Harper Sloan, quote from Uncaged
“Plus, Maddox has one too. Lust over him.”
― Harper Sloan, quote from Uncaged
“Did you really have to put ideas in Izzy's head? she now has some......What did she call it? Oh yeah "Trifecta of Vaginal Bliss". What the hell does that shit mean?”
― Harper Sloan, quote from Uncaged
“Did you really have to put ideas in Izzy’s head? She now has some brilliant idea that I need some . . . What did she call it? Oh yeah, ‘Trifecta of vaginal bliss.’ What in the hell does that shit mean?”
― Harper Sloan, quote from Uncaged
“I thought Dee was full of shit when she mentioned all that party you are rocking in your pants.” He laughs and wags his brows at me.”
― Harper Sloan, quote from Uncaged
“I walk over to Melissa, gently pull her into my arms, and hold her close. I can feel my girls rolling around in her belly when she presses closer.
“Hey, you,” she says, her lips a breath away from mine, just begging for me to close the distance.
“Hey back.” I pull her close and savor the taste of her on my tongue. I feel her lips tip up, and her moan tingles against my lips. Yeah, my girl missed me today.
“Maybe, just a wild guess here, but maybe those two will remember we aren’t in their bedroom, the porn music isn’t playing on a loop, and it probably isn’t the wisest move to start molesting each other in the family restaurant?”
I break away from Melissa’s lips, licking my own when I see the fire burning bright in her eyes.
“Shut up, Ash,” I growl and give my wife one more chaste kiss before helping her take her seat again.
“’Shut up, Ash,’ he says. No, ‘thank you, Ash, for reminding me that I can’t drive the boat into the canal in the middle of family dinner’?”
― Harper Sloan, quote from Uncaged
“Do you have any idea what a two-year-old screaming about turtles will do to your sex life?”
― Harper Sloan, quote from Uncaged
“The doctor will go over it in more detail, but those two little girls are some strong little fighters.”
― Harper Sloan, quote from Uncaged
“My girl wants me to fuck her brains out. No more of this slow and torturous lovemaking. Not for Melissa. No, she wants me to fuck her raw, and it scares the shit out of me.
“I’m sick of you treating me like I’m spun from glass. News flash, Greg Cage—I’m not going to break. Your massive dick isn’t going to thump a baby on the head, scar her for life, or poke a hole in her head. But what your dick is going to do is get the hell inside me and fuck me hard!”

“No one survives in times of war unless they make war their home. How did I get so old and wise, but for welcoming war into my house and making friends with him? Better to befriend the enemy and hang on. Something worse might come along, which might be amusing or might not.”
― Gregory Maguire, quote from Mirror Mirror
“– Зачем ты приехал сюда? спросила миссис Хэмбро. Тебе известна причина твеого переезда в Дрейкз-Лендинг?
Я покачал головой.
– Сила свела нас вместе, сказала она. Сейчас во всем мире формируются группы. Они получают одно и то же сообщение: страдайте и через боль спасайте мир. Христос не только страдал за наши грехи, но и показал нам путь. Мы должны последовать его примеру. Нас поднимут на крест, и мы получим вечную жизнь.
Она выпустила дым через ноздри.
– Христос родился на другой планете. Он был более развитой расы. Земля самая отсталая планета во Вселенной. Ночью, когда я лежу без сна, мне транслируют сообщения. Иногда они пугают меня. Как-то раз наши братья по разуму начали открывать мне клапаны в голове вот тут и вот тут.
Она показала эти места.
– Я услышала ужасный шум, самый громки шум, который я когда-либо слышала. Он оглушил меня. Ты знаешь, что это было? Спуск космического посоха Аарона! Он возник передо мной прямо в воздухе. После этого я не могу смотреть на солнце без очков. Интенсивность космических лучей слишком велика. Она сжигает наши умы. К концу мая интенсивность достигнет максимальной величины. Затем, по мнению ученых, наступит конец света. Полюса планеты поменяются местами. Ты знаешь, что случится? Сан-Франциско совместится с Лос-Анджелесом.
– Да, я знаю.
Мне доводилось читать об этом в газете.
– Самые развитые существа живут на солнце, продолжила миссис Хэмбро. Они контактируют с моим мозгом каждую ночь. Меня посвящают в знания. Скоро я узнаю тайну Вселенной. Головокружительная перспектива.”
― Philip K. Dick, quote from Confessions of a Crap Artist
“For nothing can be loved or hated unless it is first known.”

“Eight and a half miles can be covered in minutes in a car on an expressway, but what does a man see? What he gains in time he loses in benefit to his body and mInd.”
― quote from One Man's Wilderness: An Alaskan Odyssey
“B-but, Mr Jimson, I w-want to be an artist.'
'Of course you do,' I said, 'everybody does once. But they get over it, thank God, like the measles and the chickenpox. Go home and go to bed and take some hot lemonade and put on three blankets and sweat it out.'
'But Mr J-Jimson, there must be artists.'
'Yes, and lunatics and lepers, but why go and live in an asylum before you're sent for? If you find life a bit dull at home,' I said, 'and want to amuse yourself, put a stick of dynamite in the kitchen fire, or shoot a policeman. Volunteer for a test pilot, or dive off Tower Bridge with five bob's worth of roman candles in each pocket. You'd get twice the fun at about one-tenth of the risk.”

Nomad: From Islam to...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.
