“I’m just wondering how exactly I went from being the Spider to the Robin fucking Hood of the greater Ashland area... Instead of stealing from the rich, I’m stabbing them to death for the poor.”
― Jennifer Estep, quote from Venom
“Finn did what he always did when confronted by an angry woman—he checked out her boobs.”
― Jennifer Estep, quote from Venom
“Jonah McAllister regarded me with cold eyes. "Oh, yes. That's her. The lovely Ms.Gin Blanco. The bitch who was giving my boy a hard time.
A hard time? I supposed so, if you thought turning him in to the cops for attempted robbery, breaking a plate full of food in his face, and ultimately stabbing Jake McAllister to death was a hard time.”
― Jennifer Estep, quote from Venom
“Fucking pro bono work. Going to get me killed one day.”
― Jennifer Estep, quote from Venom
“That’s hard core, Gin,” Finn replied. “Very hard core. Kind of kinky too.” A grim smile tightened my lips. “That’s me. Gin Blanco. Hard core and kinky to the bitter end.”
― Jennifer Estep, quote from Venom
“I don't judge you for what you've done, Gin. Why are you judging me for another man's mistakes?”
― Jennifer Estep, quote from Venom
“Don’t make it a challenge. You know how much I like those.”
― Jennifer Estep, quote from Venom
“Fucking hope. Next thing you’d know, I’d be getting soft and sentimental and teary-eyed over puppies and kittens and rainbows.”
― Jennifer Estep, quote from Venom
“Gin’s the toughest gal I know. Takes a licking and keeps on ticking, just like a Timex. Isn’t that right, Gin?”
― Jennifer Estep, quote from Venom
“Damn. Sometimes I really could be a cold-hearted, insensitive bitch.”
― Jennifer Estep, quote from Venom
“I could practically hear the cosmic chuckles ringing my ears. Ha, ha, fucking ha.”
― Jennifer Estep, quote from Venom
“The truth was that I didn’t know how I felt about my long-lost baby sister being in Ashland, much less the fact that she was a cop. A good one, at that. Somebody who actually tried to help people, who wanted to make a difference in a city as dirty and corrupt as Ashland—while I’d spent my entire adult life killing people for money. The idea that we shared the same DNA boggled the mind. Guess there was something to that nurture stuff after all.”
― Jennifer Estep, quote from Venom

“The cabin door creaked open slowly, and she tensed, then pounded the dough more forcefully than before. She glanced up briefly. Daniel appeared in the doorway. Her focus returned to her work. “I’m making bread,” she announced tersely. He hadn’t moved further into the cabin, prompting her to look up again. His lips curved in a wide grin, and his eyes roamed over her. She shot him a questioning look, her eyebrows raised. “I will teach you,” he said quietly. “Teach me what?” Her eyes narrowed suspiciously. “You asked me to teach you to survive in the mountains. I will teach you.” She stared up at him, wide-eyed. The anger melted out of her, and a smile formed on her lips. “Really?” she asked excitedly. “Your first lesson will be how to skin and dress a deer. Come outside.” He turned abruptly and walked out the door.”
― Peggy L. Henderson, quote from Yellowstone Heart Song
“You really are like him, your father."
"I can't tell whether you think that's good or bad."
"What does it matter? It's simply true.”
― Victoria Schwab, quote from The Near Witch
“Pero también debes aprender a ser humilde cuando no halles la respuesta. En esos momentos mira al cielo. Tu Dios y el mío lo saben todo. Nosotros sólo somos una pequeñez a su lado. Perseguimos la verdad, y Él es la verdad.”
― Gonzalo Giner, quote from The Horse Healer
“Ernest Hemingway talked about how writing is opening up a vein and bleeding onto the page. You prepared to do that?”
― Craig Lancaster, quote from The Fallow Season of Hugo Hunter
“But her name was Esmé. She was a girl with long, long, red, red hair. Her mother braided it. The flower shop boy stood behind her and held it in his hand. Her mother cut it off and hung it from a chandelier.
She was Queen. Mazishta. Her hair was black and her handmaidens dressed it with pearls and silver pins.
Her flesh was golden like the desert.
Her flesh was pale like cream.
Her eyes were blue.
Brown.”

My Boyfriends' Dogs:...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.
