Woot It’s Friday! Time to chill and have fun!
This week’s question over at GReads was:
Quotes That Make You Swoon: What are some of the most swoon-worthy quotes you’ve experienced in a book?
A: Wow, there are so many… Let’s see…
“All this time I hated myself for it. I thought I’d given it up for nothing. But if I hadn’t fallen, I wouldn’t have met you.” Patch from Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick
“You are the one girl who made me risk everything for a future worth having.” Alex Fuentes, from Perfect Chemistry by Simone Elkeles
“You don’t share me. You own me.” Adam, from Where She Went by Gayle Forman
“You want me as much as I want you. And all I want is you. My tongue warred with my mind. Today I whispered. Noah stood slowly, his body skimming mine as he rose. Today. Tonight. Tomorrow. Forever.” Noah Shaw, from The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkin
“If you stay, I’ll do whatever you want. I’ll quit the band, go with you to New York. But if you need me to go away, I’ll do that, too. . . maybe coming back to your old life would just be too painful, that maybe it’d be easier for you to erase us. And that would suck, but I’d do it. I can lose you like that if I don’t lose you today. I’ll let you go. If you stay.” Adam from If I Stay by Gayle Forman
“If you stay, I’ll do whatever you want. I’ll quit the band, go with you to New York. But if you need me to go away, I’ll do that, too. . . maybe coming back to your old life would just be too painful, that maybe it’d be easier for you to erase us. And that would suck, but I’d do it. I can lose you like that if I don’t lose you today. I’ll let you go. If you stay.” Adam from If I Stay by Gayle Forman
“Ever since I met you I’ve wanted to break every rule.” Aiden turned away, the muscles in his neck tensing. He sighed. “You’ll become the center of someone’s world one day. And he’ll be the luckiest son of a b*tch on this Earth.” Aiden from Pure by Jennifer L. Armentrout
“I love you enough to never make you choose.” Noah from Pushing the Limits by Katie McGarry
“Dumbledore opened his eyes. Snape looked horrified.
“You have kept him alive so that he can die at the right moment?”
“Don’t be shocked, Severus. How many men and women have you watched die?”
“Lately, only those whom I could not save,” said Snape. He stood up. “You have used me.”
“Meaning?”
“I have spied for you, and lied for you, put myself in mortal danger for you. Everything was supposed to be to keep Lily Potter’s son safe. Now you tell me you have been raising him like a pig for slaughter -“
“But this is touching, Severus,” said Dumbledore seriously. “Have you grown to care for the boy, after all?”
“For him?” shouted Snape. “Expecto patronum!”
From the tip of his wand burst the silver doe: she landed on the office floor, bounded once across the office and soared out of the window. Dumbledore watched her fly away, and as her silvery glow faded he turned back to Snape, and his eyes were full of tears.
“After all this time?”
“Dumbledore opened his eyes. Snape looked horrified.

“Always,” said Snape.”
Snape from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by J. K. Rowling

Yay for bringing the swoon today! My favorite of the ones you've posted is the one from Perfect Chemistry. I really, really want to read it now!
Ohh that quote from Adam in Where She Went is one of my all time favorites! Love that boy, so much.
P.S. I see you're from Huntsville! *waves hi* I'm in Katy 🙂
I'm really impressed with all of your awesome quotes!! I'm one of those that doesn't write them down. When I'm reading a book there are definitely quotes that I swooooooon over, but I never thought to write them down. I've learned my lesson! From now on I will write them all down!! 🙂

Yay, I love If I Stay/Where She went! And of course Harry Potter 🙂 Excellent choices!
I was surprised you chose Snape, but I think that's quite good. I liked that part. 😉
But I have to say I like the Gayle Forman quotes best. I really have to push those two books up on my tbr….
Thanks so much for sharing, and for stepping by my blog! Happy reading. =)
Omg you haven't read that series yet??? Those are some of my favorite books! U should definitely make time for them!
Great choices. I love all of these!
