“I knew you could never forgive me," he said, "so I ran away. I thought I had lost you for good. But then I found this second chance, and I came here to redeem myself. This time with you has shown me that my love for you is bigger than my fear. My love for you is bigger than anything I know."
A tear rolled down his cheek. He closed his eyes. He had so much more to say and so little time for it to matter.”
― Lauren Kate, quote from Unforgiven

"This whole time, I've been in Hell?" She stepped away from Cam, out of the spotlight and into darkness.
"Because of you.”
― Lauren Kate, quote from Unforgiven
“Before Cam, music had been an escape, passion, a daydream, love, an impossibility.”
― Lauren Kate, quote from Unforgiven
“For every time Luce met Daniel—and
she always met Daniel—nothing mattered as
much as their love.”
― Lauren Kate, quote from Unforgiven
“The boy had stopped coughing by then.
He was petting a little white dog who’d trotted
out from the house. “Are you Lilith’s
boyfriend?”
Cam grinned. “I like this kid.”
“Shut up,” Lilith said.
“Well, is he?” Bruce asked Lilith. “Because
if he’s your boyfriend, he’s going to
have to win me over, too. Like with arcade
games and ice cream and, like, teaching me
to throw a baseball.”
“Why stop there?” Cam asked. “I’ll teach
you to throw a football, a punch, a poker
match, and even”—he glanced at Lilith—“the
coolest girl off her game.”
― Lauren Kate, quote from Unforgiven
“She was luminous. Her red hair had been braided a dozen ways, all swirled together in a high shaggy twist. Her eyelids were shimmering green, her lips crimson and matte. She wore black vintage ankle-high motorcycle boots. She was lethal.”
― Lauren Kate, quote from Unforgiven
“THIS QUOTE CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR UNFORGIVEN
Then she was at the bottom, in the filtered light, alone. Black water filled her nose and mouth, her stomach, her lungs.
Her soul.”
― Lauren Kate, quote from Unforgiven
“Existence is never so miserable as when you have a taste of something beautiful,” Lucifer said. “It serves to remind you of everything you can never have.”
― Lauren Kate, quote from Unforgiven
“He thought about Daniel and Lucinda.
They had embodied love for so long, as far as
the fallen angels were concerned. He wished they were beside him now, playing the role of the happy couple offering sage advice to their
suffering friend.Fight for her, they would tell him. Even
when it seems like all is lost, do not give up
the fight for love. How had Luce and Daniel done it for so
long? It took a strength Cam wasn’t sure he
had. The pain when she refused him—and, so far, almost all she did was refuse him—was staggering. And yet he went for it again and again and again. Why? To save her. To help her. Because he
loved her. Because if he gave up… He could not give up.”
― Lauren Kate, quote from Unforgiven
“Lucinda’s wings had been special. They
had been purely, stunningly white. Unspoiled.
Innocent of the choices the rest of
them had made. The only other fallen angel
who had preserved his white wings was
Daniel.”
― Lauren Kate, quote from Unforgiven
“Why Lilith?” Cam asked. “Do you craft
everyone’s Hell this way?”
Lucifer smiled. “The dull ones make
their own dull hells, fire and brimstone and
all that crap. They need no help from me. But
Lilith—she’s special. Not that I have to tell
you that.”
― Lauren Kate, quote from Unforgiven
“His hands grasped her waist and lifted her until she could have sworn that his feet had come off the ground, too; that they were floating up above the creek, above the trees, above the burning hillside, into the dense tangle of stars, about to kiss the moon.”
― Lauren Kate, quote from Unforgiven
“The starlight, which seemed strangely bright tonight, wasn't starlight at all. Instead, Lucifer's demons had gathered high in the firmament above. It was their eyes that shone like stars through the wildfire smoke.”
― Lauren Kate, quote from Unforgiven
“Lilith blinked, making out what looked like a dark cave at sunset, the sky fiery with streaks of red and orange.”
― Lauren Kate, quote from Unforgiven
“Beneath his exhaustion, he radiated a serenity that suggested nothing in this place could touch him. Maybe nothing in this world could touch him. It was one of the most beautiful things she’d ever seen. She wanted to be that way, too: at peace with herself, autonomous, free.”
― Lauren Kate, quote from Unforgiven
“We all carry pieces of our journeys within us,” Roland said. “We all learn from our mistakes. Who’s to say we don’t deserve happiness?”
― Lauren Kate, quote from Unforgiven
“A fallen angel,” Cam corrected her. “And I’m yours.”
― Lauren Kate, quote from Unforgiven
“The stars are on your face tonight
There is no outer space tonight”
― Lauren Kate, quote from Unforgiven
“-This is a disaster- she said. -Most great things start out that way- he said.”
― Lauren Kate, quote from Unforgiven
“Cam pitied them. They had no idea of the particular joy of a Friday afternoon at four o'clock, or the hedonistic thrill of a Saturday-midnight joyride that took all of Sunday to recover from”
― Lauren Kate, quote from Unforgiven
“She does look beautiful, though, doesn't she?'
'The stuff of love songs,' Cam said.”
― Lauren Kate, quote from Unforgiven
“Everyone here felt like they were on the brink of something, when in fact they were only on the brink of the end.”
― Lauren Kate, quote from Unforgiven
“What’s wrong?” Cam asked. Everything, she wanted to say. The only thing Lilith had ever known was disappointment. Nothing in her life ever worked out. Which, for the most part, was okay, because she never let herself expect anything, so she never really cared.”
― Lauren Kate, quote from Unforgiven
“She liked to think that someday, if she she graduated, she'd escape to a better place.”
― Lauren Kate, quote from Unforgiven
“For every time Luce met Daniel—and she always met Daniel—nothing mattered as much as their love.”

“Devrim sözcüğü kulağınıza hoş geliyor, değil mi? ama hiç öyle değildir, inanın bana. devrimin ne olduğunu bilmek ister misiniz? kan, bağırsak ve delilik. yolunuza çıktığı için ölen çocuklar, dünyadan habersiz yavrular. yanınızdaki kaltağın, hatta karınızın gözünüzün önünde kasaturalanıp ırzına geçilmesidir. bir zamanlar miki fare filmlerine gülen erkeklerin birbirine işkence etmeleridir. böyle bir eyleme geçmeden önce eylemin ruhunun nerede olduğunu ve eylem bittiğinde nerede olacağını çok iyi düşünmek gerek. Dostoyevski'nin Suç ve Ceza'sına katılmıyorum, koşullar ne olursa olsun kimseyi öldürme meselesi. ama iyi düşünmek gerek. işin delirtici yanı tek bir mermi bile sıkmadan canlarımızı alıyor olmaları. para babalarının şişko oğulları Beverly Hills'de on dört yaşında kızların ırzlarına geçerken ben bir yerlerde asgari ücretle belimi kırıyordum. helada beş dakika fazla kaldığı için işten kovulan adamlar biliyorum. anlatmak istemediğim çok şey gördüm. ama bir şeyi öldürmeden önce yerine daha iyisini koyabileceğinden emin olmalısın. parklarda nefret palavraları sıkan siyasi fırsatçılardan daha iyi bir şeyler olmalı elinizde. bir şeyin bedelini ödemek canınıza okuyacaksa otuz altı aylık garantiden fazlasını arayın. devrime duyulan romantik özlemin dışında bir şey göremedim henüz. ne gerçek bir lider ne de şimdiye kadar her devrim sonrası gelen ihanetin önüne geçebilecek bir platform. şayet birini yok edeceksem o adamın yerine karbon kopyasının gelmesini istemem. tarihi bar helasında barbut oynayan ayyaşlar gibi harcadık. insan ırkından utanç duyuyorum, ama bu utanca katkıda bulunmanın da bir anlamı yok. elimden gelirse utancı azaltmak isterim.”
― Charles Bukowski, quote from Notes of a Dirty Old Man
“There are moments in your life when you know that the sentence that will come next will change your life forever, although you realize, even as you are anticipating this sentence, that your life has already changed. Changed some time ago, and you simply didn't know it.”
― Anita Shreve, quote from The Weight of Water
“Go from me. Yet I feel that I shall stand
Henceforth in thy shadow. Nevermore
Alone upon the threshold of my door
Of individual life, I shall command
The uses of my soul, nor lift my hand
Serenely in the sunshine as before,
Without the sense of that which I forbore--
Thy touch upon the palm. The widest land
Doom takes to part us, leaves thy heart in mine
With pulses that beat double. What I do
And what I dream include thee, as the wine
Must taste of its own grapes. And when I sue
God for myself, He hears that name of thine,
And sees within my eyes the tears of two.”
― Elizabeth Barrett Browning, quote from Sonnets from the Portuguese
“Safe men are for marrying. Dangerous men are for pleasure.”
― Lisa Kleypas, quote from Because You're Mine
“You’re fucking special and if I want to act all possessive over you when some stupid art guy hits on you right in front of me, I’m going to. Either that or I’m going to have Ethan chase him down right now so I can punch him in the face.”

Brazzaville BeachBookQuoters 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.
