“Camouflaged?” The cashier’s forehead crinkled in concentration. “I don’t think so. We have every flavor and color imaginable, but I don’t think we have any camouflaged.”
“Why would you need a camouflaged condom?” Rebekah asked.
“So you won’t see me coming.”
― Olivia Cunning, quote from Wicked Beat

― Olivia Cunning, quote from Wicked Beat
“Eric lifted the long lock of hair that he dyed a different vibrant color every forty-nine days without fail and stared at it. His memory had served him correctly. It was currently cobalt blue—the exact same shade as the under-layer of her hair. What were the chances? It had to be kismet. Destiny. Fate. Providence. All of the above...
She’d said her name was Rebekah. That was Eric’s favorite name. At least, now it was.”
― Olivia Cunning, quote from Wicked Beat

"Don't you dare.”

“Eric tripped over his feet as he raced after Rebekah. Heart hammering, he entered the bedroom and closed the door, leaning against it for support. She was pacing the room, his essay in one hand, the ruler in the other. Was she going to hit him with that ruler? God, he hoped so.”
― Olivia Cunning, quote from Wicked Beat

“Quiero adoptar a los niños con más problemas en la existencia. Los que se portan mal y se meten en problemas. Los que fallan en la escuela y que tienen tanto dolor que puedes verlo en sus ojos.

― Olivia Cunning, quote from Wicked Beat

― Olivia Cunning, quote from Wicked Beat
“I don’t want my world to be subset A such that it doesn’t intersect with any others (B, C or D), a watertight shape drawn on a slate, whole but empty. I’d rather be elsewhere, following a line that leads to places where worlds communicate with each other, overlap, where the edges are permeable, where life follows a path without breaks, where things don’t come to an end brutally for no reason, where important events come with instructions (level of risk, mains or batteries, expected duration) and the necessary equipment (airbags, GPS, ABS).”
― Delphine de Vigan, quote from No and Me
“… и като закрих лицето си с ръце, за да се спася неизвестно от какво, наддадох адски вик. Вик, който сигурно съм носила в себе си, и с този вик, толкова широк, че едвам мина през гърлото ми, от устата ми излезе едно съвсем малко нещо, почти нищо, като хлебарка, направена от слюнка… и това малко нещо, почти нищо, което беше живяло толкова време вътре в мен, беше моята младост, която излетя с този вик, който не ми беше ясно какво е… Безпомощност? Някой докосна ръката ми, обърнах се , без да се стряскам, един стар човек ме попита дали съм болна и чух, че отварят балконска врата. Не се ли чувствате добре? Приближи се една старица и старецът и старицата застанаха пред мен, а на балкона имаше някаква бяла сянка. Мина ми – отвърнах. Дойдоха още хора, идваха бавно, като дневната светлина, казах им, че ми е минало, няма нищо, това са нерви, нищо, никаква опасност… И отново тръгнах да вървя, да се връщам назад. Старецът и старицата, обърнах се да ги видя, бяха останали на същото място и ме следваха с очи и на слабата светлина, която вече се беше появила, изглеждаха недействителни… Благодаря. Благодаря. Благодаря. Антони години наред ми благодареше, а аз никога не съм му благодарила за нищо, Благодаря… На ръба на тротоара на улица „Гран“ погледнах нагоре и надолу дали не идват трамваи и пресякох тичешком, а когато стигнах на отсрещната страна, пак се обърнах да видя дали ме следва онова малко нещо, почти нищо, което така ме бе подлудило.Вървях сама…”
― Mercè Rodoreda, quote from The Time of the Doves
“It was as if Simon had become my nightlight; even when he wasn't with me, he was illuminating the world so that I no longer feared it.”
― Tricia Rayburn, quote from Siren
“Name me. Gaze into my eyes, study my smile and dimples and tell me what you see. I look like an Emma. I look like an Amy. I look like a Katherine. I look like a Kathryn. I look like your best friend's sister, your sister's best friend. Introduce me. Yell for me. Let me run away and call me back. Run your fingers through my hair and whisper my name.
Call me whatever you want; it's just a name, after all.”
― David Cristofano, quote from The Girl She Used to Be
“-çünkü eğer kadın gerçeği söylemeye başlarsa aynadaki görüntü büzülür; erkek hayata uyum sağlayamaz olur.”

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.
