"My face?"
"It's in need of my kisses.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from White Hot Kiss
“At some point, Roth had gotten hold of my cell and replaced Zayne's name with Stony and listed his own number under Sexy Beast. What a tool”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from White Hot Kiss
“ "Don't be scared of Bambi" the demon said. "She's only curious and maybe a little bit hungry."
The thing was named Bambi?
Oh, my God, the thing stared at me like it wanted to eat me.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from White Hot Kiss
“People with the purest souls are capable of the greatest evils.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from White Hot Kiss
“Your life isn’t about all you can’t do. It’s about what you can do.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from White Hot Kiss
“If i sa thank you, will you go away?"
"Yes"
"Thank you" I said eagerly.
"I lied"
"What?" I looked up at him, frowning. "That's messed up”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from White Hot Kiss
“People with the purest souls are capable of the greatest evils. No one is perfect, no matter what they are or what side they fight for.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from White Hot Kiss
“Double crap on a cracker the size of my butt”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from White Hot Kiss
“The newcomer stood well over six feet, as tall as any Warden. His hair was dark, the color of obsidian, and it reflected blue in the dim light. Lazy locks slipped over his forehead and curled just below his ears. Brows arched over golden eyes and his cheekbones were broad and high. He was attractive. Very attractive. Mind-bendingly beautiful, actually, but the sardonic twist to his full lips chilled his beauty. The black T-shirt stretched across his chest and flat stomach. A huge tattoo of a snake curled around his forearm, the tail disappearing under his sleeve and the diamond-shaped head rested on the top of his hand. He looked my age. Total crush material—if it wasn’t for the fact that he had no soul.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from White Hot Kiss
“When people inexplicably dissapeared into thin air, it was usually because they had a new zip code. Something like 666”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from White Hot Kiss
“You undo me. You have no idea how much you undo me.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from White Hot Kiss
“Then I guess I'll just have to try biting again"
"You wanna try?" He leaned the curve of my cheek. "Let me suggest more appropriate places. I have this piercing.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from White Hot Kiss
“You almost got plowed by a cab. And if you want to get plowed, I will gladly volunteer my services. I promise you I’ll be a lot—”
“Don’t even finish that sentence.”
“It was just an offer.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from White Hot Kiss
“Bloodied and beat up like no tomorrow, Roth grinned at me as he dropped one of the Rack demons. “You’re still hot as a stone freak.” His gaze dropped. “Maybe even hotter. Damn.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from White Hot Kiss
“I’m okay.” Zayne staggered to his feet. “I can fight.”
“I sure hope so … Because if you’re just going to lay there and bleed, you suck.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from White Hot Kiss
“Roth heaved a long sigh. “Look. I’m so—I’m sor...” He took a deep breath, trying again. “I’m sorr...” I turned my head toward him, waiting. “You’re what? Sorry?” He looked chagrined, lips pursed. “I’m...sorr-ree.” “Oh, give me a break. You can’t say I’m sorry?” “No.” He looked me straight on, serious. “It’s not in a demon’s vocab.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from White Hot Kiss
“He let out a growl that shook inside my chest. “Demon.”
“Congrats,” Roth said tightly. “You know your species. Want a cookie?”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from White Hot Kiss
“I...can’t believe you have kittens.” I wiggled my fingers and the little guy strained to reach them. “What’re their names?”
Roth snorted. “That one is Fury. The white one is Nitro and the black one is named Thor.”
“What? You called these cuties something like that, but named a giant snake Bambi?”
He bent forward, placing a kiss on my shoulder. It was so fast I wasn’t sure he’d actually done it. “There’s sweetness in evil,” he said. “And remember, looks can be deceiving.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from White Hot Kiss
“Some girl named Eva has him convinced that you put out after one beer."
"What?" My voice was as shrill as the ringing tardy bell
"I personally don't believe it" he went on blithely, "and I have a Porsche. Not as much leg room as a Beamer, but so much hotter, I'm told.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from White Hot Kiss
“I’m a demon, Layla. What I see in your eyes and what I sense from your body is something I will take. Make no mistake. I’ll give you one chance. Close your eyes, and I’ll let this go.” I felt weak under his consuming stare, but I didn’t close my eyes. “Layla.” He said my name as if it hurt him. And then he kissed me.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from White Hot Kiss
“You always seemed lonely. Even when you were with your friends, you were lonely.”
My chest spasmed. “And you…you’re lonely?”
“What do you think?” He shifted so that one leg was between mine. “But it doesn’t really matter. I’m not lonely right now. Neither are you.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from White Hot Kiss
“Free will, huh? Damn. It is a bitch.’ And then he smiled-he smiled-at me, a real smile, revealing those deep dimples. ‘I lost myself the moment I found you.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from White Hot Kiss
“Well, aren’t you special. Cocky much?”
“I’m all kinds of special, but you know that.”

"Yes."
"Thank you."
"I lied.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from White Hot Kiss
“I started to respond, but Bambi slithered up and placed its horse-sized head on my shoulder. Every muscle in my body locked up and I squeezed my eyes shut. There was a puff of air, stirring the hair along my temple. Bambi’s forked tongue shot out, tickling the side of my neck.
“Hey, look, Bambi likes you.”
I pried one eye open.
“And if she didn’t?”
“Oh, you’d know, ’cause she would’ve eaten you by now.”

“I find it comforting,” Bell said. “It reminds me of the womb. They say we don’t remember what it is like to be there, but I don’t believe that. I think deep inside we always know. It’s why children burrow under blankets and cats push their heads into your elbow when they sit beside you. I’ve not had those experiences myself, but I know why they happen. I’ve been told my liminal space is like the dark of the grave. But I think of it as the dark from the other end of life entirely. The dark of everything ahead, not everything behind.”
― John Scalzi, quote from Lock In
“Every human creates his own imagined version of the world, and of himself. Every human is therefore Brahma, creator of his own aham. Aham Brahmasmi, I am Brahma. Tat tvam asi, so are you. We knot our imagination with fear to create aham. Tapasya and yagna are two tools that can help us unknot the mind, outgrow fear and discover atma, our true self.”
― Devdutt Pattanaik, quote from Sita: An Illustrated Retelling of the Ramayana
“That being said, I fucking HATE shopping with other people. I insist on doing it alone because it’s the only activity that truly centers me. It’s meditative and personal.”
― quote from White Girl Problems
“Let’s explore this by considering two related themes that arise from the same Christian root. The first is Paul’s statement above. Here Paul in a single phrase repudiates an entire tradition of classical philosophy founded in Plato. For Plato, the problem of evil is a problem of knowledge. People do wrong because they do not know what is right. If they knew what was right, obviously, they would do it. But Paul denies that this is so. His claim is that even though he knows something is wrong, he still does it. Why? Because the human will is corrupt. The problem of evil is not a problem of knowledge but a problem of will.”
― Dinesh D'Souza, quote from What's So Great About Christianity
“Finally, the Pirahã language is notoriously difficult because it lacks things that many other languages have, especially in the way that it puts sentences together. For example, the language has no comparatives, so I couldn’t find expressions like this is big/that is bigger. I couldn’t find color words—no simple words for red, green, blue, and so on, only descriptive phrases, like that is like blood for red or that is not ripe yet for green.”

The American Politic...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.
