Quotes from Vanish

“Holding a hand over my eyes, I look up at him. "Thanks, I'm glad were...friends." I say the word friends deliberately, letting the emphasis get my point across. His mouth curves with a slow smile. "I've never wanted to be your friend, Jacinda." My heart stutters in my chest. Standing in the pouring rain, I watch him walk away.”
― Sophie Jordan, quote from Vanish

“Sudden conviction races through me, almost terrifying in its total certainty. I can't give him up. He's the other part of me. He gets what it feels like to be separate from everything and everyone, to reject the path others lay out for you. We're the same. Two sides to the same coin.”
― Sophie Jordan, quote from Vanish

“It's unclear who moves first. We're in each other's arms, lips locked, melded, hotly fused. Our hands drag over each other, reacquainting, remembering, almost as if we're both verifying the other one is real flesh and blood.”
― Sophie Jordan, quote from Vanish

“I won’t let him retreat from me. We’ve come too far. I’ll fight for us even if it’s him I have to fight.”
― Sophie Jordan, quote from Vanish

“The heart that truly loves never forgets.”
― Sophie Jordan, quote from Vanish

“Will sabía lo que era la soledad, entendía lo que era estar apartado del mundo en el que uno vive y ser un extraño entre tu propia gente. Will lo entendía. Will me entendía.”
― Sophie Jordan, quote from Vanish

“No tenía nada. Solo un deseo frenético de aferrarme a algo, a cualquier cosa que me mantuviera a flote en el desierto de mi existencia.”
― Sophie Jordan, quote from Vanish

“- Entonces dejemos a un lado a la comunidad, a los cazadores, a mi familia. Así no estaríamos poniendo a nadie en peligro.
- ¿Qué estás diciendo?
- Escapémonos juntos.”
― Sophie Jordan, quote from Vanish

“Mis alas agitaron el aire y me llevaron cada vez más alto. Era como si estuviera alejándome del pueblo a toda velocidad, esforzándome por llegar lo más lejos posible. Cerré los ojos y saboreé el viento fuerte que azotaba mi rostro.
Por un instante llegué a pensar en seguir de largo y desvanecerme, esfumarme en el cielo. No volver a descender jamás.”
― Sophie Jordan, quote from Vanish

“Cassian looks at me intently, his eyes more black than purple right then. The purple only shows itself when he’s feeling emotion. A rarity it seems.”
― Sophie Jordan, quote from Vanish

“It’s going to be okay, Jacinda.”
I angled my head. “So I won’t be punished?”
“I convinced them that you wanted to return. I told them you’re eager to fall back into pride life. That you’ll behave yourself and be more compliant.” His top lip curls faintly, and I remember what he told me in Chaparral when he found me, that he liked me because I was different from everyone else here. Now he wants me to be the same.
I inhale sharply through my nose. Compliant. Submissive. Meek. Biddable. Do I even have it in me?
“Compliant? Jacinda?” Az giggles, unaware of the tension. “They bought that?”
― Sophie Jordan, quote from Vanish

“Cassian’s not a bad sort. He’s not . . . quite like his father.”
Not quite. I pull back, certain my mother has been snatched by aliens. “Are you serious?”
― Sophie Jordan, quote from Vanish

“Yo haría cualquier cosa por ti. Especialmente si eso significa que voy a volver a verte.”
― Sophie Jordan, quote from Vanish

“Bu tuhaf bir histi; kendinizi suçlu hissediyor olmanız, yaşananlardan pişman olacağınız anlamına gelmiyordu.”
― Sophie Jordan, quote from Vanish

“CUSTOMER: Hi.
BOOKSELLER: Hi there, how can I help?
CUSTOMER: Could you please explain Kindle to me.
BOOKSELLER: Sure. It’s an e-reader, which means you download books and read them on a small hand-held computer.
CUSTOMER: Oh OK, I see. So . . . this Kindle. Are the books on that paperback or hardback?”
― Jen Campbell, quote from Weird Things Customers Say in Bookshops

“For a torture to be effective, the pain has to be spread out; it has to come at regular intervals, with no end in sight. The water falls , drop after drop after drop, like the second hand of a watch, carving up time. The shock of each individual drop is insignificant, but the sensation is impossible to ignore. At first, one might manage to think about other things, but after five hours, after ten hours, it becomes unendurable. The repeated stimulation excites the nerves to a point where they literally explode, and every sensation in the body is absorbed into that one spot on the forehead---indeed, you come to feel that you are nothing but a forehead, into which a fine needle is being forced millimeter by millimeter. You can’t sleep or even speak, hypnotized by a suffering that is greater than any mere pain. In general, the victim goes mad before a day has passed.”
― Yōko Ogawa, quote from Revenge

“Darkness isn't the matter from which the Antichrist was formed, but intelligence. Foreknowledge.”
― Andrew Pyper, quote from The Demonologist

“A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools. ~ Douglas Adams”
― Mara Jacobs, quote from Worth the Effort

“Two things should have become readily apparent to you by now: First, I'm not the brightest bulb in the pack when it comes to obvious things, and second ... well, it's the same as the first.”
― Katie MacAlister, quote from You Slay Me

About BookQuoters

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.
