“Sometimes people would rather accept a lie than know the truth. Life is a whole lot easier to swallow that way.”
― K.K. Allen, quote from Up in the Treehouse
“He looked like he wanted to eat you."
With that, I throw my head back and laugh. "That man has no problem finding a meal. I highly doubt he's starving."
She scrunches her nose to show me she doesn't agree. "Well, maybe he just spotted something new on the menu. You know men and their food; they have to try a little bit of everything until they're completely satisfied.”
― K.K. Allen, quote from Up in the Treehouse
“Life isn't always predictable. But it's how we survive the bad weather that defines us.”

― K.K. Allen, quote from Up in the Treehouse

― K.K. Allen, quote from Up in the Treehouse
“It's hard to be around Gavin and not get little hot flashes every now and then. I'm having an episode now ...”

“Chloe has always had a serious effect on my heart, but lately . . . she's stolen pieces of it, bit by bit. Or maybe she's had them all along.”
― K.K. Allen, quote from Up in the Treehouse
“My world stops at the sight of her ... it's as if I've been looking at Chloe through a two-way mirror this entire time—aware of her, always feeling her presence, but never allowing myself to break through the barrier.”
― K.K. Allen, quote from Up in the Treehouse
“Chloe doesn't move right away even though I've stepped to the side to allow her to pass. When she finally does, it's as if she's stealing my air as she goes. She's so damn beautiful.”
― K.K. Allen, quote from Up in the Treehouse
“You were staring out at the horizon, telling me it was the most beautiful thing you'd ever seen, and I was staring at you thinking the exact same thing.”
― K.K. Allen, quote from Up in the Treehouse
“Well"—I place my hands on my hips—"aren't you going to sketch me?" I twirl slowly, allowing him to take in the entire outfit. Before I'm even facing him again he's moving toward me, then grabbing me by the hips and pulling me against his hard body. My heart is trying to catch up to his eagerness as we fall onto the bed.
"I've done all the practice sketches I can handle.”
― K.K. Allen, quote from Up in the Treehouse
“I don't think we're allowed to call this friendship spooning anymore”
― K.K. Allen, quote from Up in the Treehouse
“The liquid seeping through my system instantly turns to fire, and it burns like the flames of guilt that have consumed me for so long.”
― K.K. Allen, quote from Up in the Treehouse
“When she left she took a piece of me with her—and it wasn't until she returned that I realized just how big that piece was.
I want it back.”
― K.K. Allen, quote from Up in the Treehouse
“Her beauty radiated from her core and touched every morsel of her exterior … and it only seems to have gotten better with age.”
― K.K. Allen, quote from Up in the Treehouse
“When someone has already made their choice, you just have to be smart enough to know they made it and have the strength to walk away.”
― K.K. Allen, quote from Up in the Treehouse
“When a girl gives you her heart and tells you to trust it, you don't question it. You don't waste a second. You just do it.”

“Socrates’ method of building an argument through gentle queries, he “dropped my abrupt contradiction” style of argument and “put on the humbler enquirer” of the Socratic method. By asking what seemed to be innocent questions, Franklin would draw people into making concessions that would gradually prove whatever point he was trying to assert.”

The Asylum for Waywa...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.
