“You love me?”
He answered without hesitation. “With everything I am, baby doll, and everything I’m meant to be.”
“I loved you before you took your first breath on this earth because that was my fate but you made me love you because you’re just… fucking… you.”
“If I could have wished what I thought was my perfect mate on the wind and had her come back to me in a storm, I could never have come up with anything as exquisite as you.”
“Female humans need communication, a lot of it. It's fucking annoying but, trust me, you're better off giving it to her than suffering the consequences.”
“You have a lovely castle,” she noted, looking around while sitting on a couch and crossing her legs before she tipped her face up to Lucien and asked mock petulantly. “Why don’t we have a castle, darling?”
“You want a castle, sweetling, I’ll get you a castle,” Lucien answered casually.”
“You defy me again, I'll take you to that bed and make you my queen right... fucking... now.”
“Baby doll, you're about to be claimed.”
“My peopole like to sing,” he informed her easily. “They like it best when they’re shitfaced.”
“Don’t call me wolf when you’re pissed, wolf.”
“We girlie girls might be able to help you big strong boys kick ass,” Leah declared proudly and both Lucien and Callum grinned at her.”
“Fuck, baby doll, I missed you so fucking much.”
“Every day, I would wake up and think you were perfect and every night I'd go to sleep thinking that, somehow, during the day, you got even more perfect.”
“It’s all right, baby doll, I’ve got you.”
“Baby doll, that’s pretty but it just won’t do.”
“This party was not in the least like a party a wolf would throw. For one thing, no one had shown up smashed. For another thing, even though it started an hour ago, still no one was smashed.”
“Compassion is often mistaken for weakness, when the fact is, there is very little that is more powerful than the courage it takes to give it.”
“He can be pretty charming and charismatic. Still, he’s not a well man.”
The newcomers all burst out laughing. Callum scowled at her a moment before dropping his head back and saying to the ceiling, “Bloody hell.”
“And I you, my handsome wolf. With everything I am, with everything I’m meant to be, and with eternity to be it in, that’s a lot.”
“Unfortunately, baby doll, we don’t have enough time for me to explain all the ways I love you. That, in itself, would take centuries.”
“My glorious queen, I told you we’d have a beautiful life, you and I.”
“The days, I can forget, baby doll. But the nights…” His voice dropped to a hoarse growl, filled with intense feeling. “The nights will be torture knowing I won’t have this for eternity.”
“He was good-looking. No doubt about it.
But he was crazy as a loon.”
“Then, his eyes golden and shimmering, he said quietly, “Come to your wolf, baby doll.”
“But, my wolf, compassion is often mistaken for weakness when the fact is, there is very little that is more powerful than the courage it takes to give it. The one thing I know that’s even more powerful is the courage it takes to forge your own path, make your own mark and in doing so, make change.”
“But, my wolf, compassion is often mistaken for weakness when the fact is, there is very little that is more powerful than the courage it takes to give it.”
“She stared at his handsome face.
He was good-looking. No doubt about it.
But he was crazy as a loon”
“and seeing her makeup free, in a nightgown and ponytail, her lips bruised from his kisses, her face flushed with sex, he thought she’d never looked more adorable, never prettier, beyond beautiful.”
“He rolled her to her back and used his hands, mouth, and tongue on her, all over her, and she was greedy for that too. Arching against him, her hands coaxing and demanding, her nails scraping or diving into his hair to hold him to her.”
“There was one thing he liked about the human’s mating ritual, the female accepting the male’s name. Callum liked this not because it denoted possession, but because it signified the birth of a single unit, a family.”
“You, on the other hand, wish to know things. And no one can forgive a girl for that.”
“There is a mythical element to our childhood, it seems, that stays with us always. When we are young, we consume the world in great gulps, and it consumes us, and everything is mysterious and alive and fills us with desire and wonder, fear, and guilt. With the passing of the years, however, those memories become distant and malleable, and we shape them into the stories of who we are. We are brave, or we are cowardly. We are loving, or we are cruel.”
“Strictly speaking, the Patrol is not a military organization at all.” “Sir?” “I know, I know—you are trained to use weapons, you are under orders, you wear a uniform. But your purpose is not to fight, but to prevent fighting, by every possible means. The Patrol is not a fighting organization; it is the repository of weapons too dangerous to entrust to military men.”
“IF YOU HAVE SOMETHING GOOD IN YOUR LIFE, DON'T LET IT GO.”
“India, where a surging rate of obesity is now worrying health care officials as much as malnutrition”
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.
