“It was so typical. Whenever Blair did anything nice for someone else, she usually regretted it.
Which kind of explained why she was such a bitch most of the time.”
― Cecily von Ziegesar, quote from Because I'm Worth It
“You know when you see a gorgeous boy on the street and you say to your friend, "Look at him!" and then your friend makes a face like, ugly? We all have such totally varied tastes that someone is going to look at you and think, yum-yum dee-lish, no matter what you think you look like. You just have to learn to see what they see. ”
― Cecily von Ziegesar, quote from Because I'm Worth It

“Don't fucking make judgments about something you know nothing about.”

“May your Valentine’s Day be filled with adoration, pampering, and a pair of gorgeous, tiny-heeled Jimmy Choo sandals that are completely useless in this weather. Just remember: You are totally worth it.”

“Some things you don't have to tell. Some things, between sisters, are understood.”
― Sarah Dessen, quote from That Summer
“Don’t go anywhere, don’t do anything, don’t call anyone. I guessed talking with the guy would amount to doing something, which would contravene the don’t do anything part of the command. But then, breathing was doing something, technically. So was metabolizing. My hair was growing, my beard was growing, all twenty of my nails were growing, I was losing weight. It was impossible not to do anything. So I decided that component of the order was purely rhetorical.”
― Lee Child, quote from The Enemy
“Bugün Cengiz Han denildiği zaman aklımıza yok edilen şehirler ve yapılan katliamlar gelir. Milyonlarca öldürülen insanlar, yok edilen dünya mirasları ve yeryüzünden silinen zamanının en güzel şehirleri…
Moğollar islam alemine bir çok zarar vermiştir. Hatta önüne Memlüklüler çıkmasaydı dünyada islam şehri bırakmayacaklardı. Fakat islam alemini Hasan Sabbah’ın kurmuş olduğu ölüm makinesinden kurtaran yine Moğollardır.
Cengiz Han’ın başını çektği ilk dalga hiç kuşkusuz Doğu’nun başına çöken en yıkıcı afetti. Pekin, Buhara veya Semerkant gibi itibarlı şehirler yeryüzünden kazındı ve milyonlarca insan yok edildi.
Alamut’u silip süpüren dalga ise ikinci dalgaydı.Bu önceki kadar kanlı olmasa da, daha yaygın bir istilaydı. Moğol ordularının bir kaç arayla Bağdat’ı Şam’ı Polonya’da Krakow kentini ve Çin’de Sezuan eyaletini yakıp yıkabildikleri düşünülürse, o çağda yaşayanların nasıl bir dehşete kapıldıkları kolayca anlaşılır.
AlamutttYüz altmış altı yıl boyunca her türlü istilacıya kafa tutmuş Alamut kalesi de teslim olmayı tercih etti! Cengiz Han’ın torunu olan Hulagu Han bu askeri inşaat mucizesini bizzat gelip gözleriyle gördü; efsaneye göre, orada Hasan Sabbah’ın devrinden bu yana el sürülmeden duran ve hiç bozulmamış erzak depoları buldu.
Hulagu Han askerlerine herşeyi yıkmalarını ve taş üstünde taş bırakmamalarını emretti. Yakılan yerlere Alamut’un kütüphanesi de dahildi. Bu kütüphanede binlerce hiç bir kopyası olmayan sayısız eser kül oldu.
Böylece Hasan Sabbah’ın kurmuş olduğu ölüm imparatorluğu sona erdi.”
― Vladimir Bartol, quote from Alamut
“I closed my eyes, wondering why it was no effort at all to call up the exact shade of his dark eyes, hostile as they were. I should be thinking about the bounty on our heads, not whether or not I’d get to see him again. Because of course I’d get to see him again; he’d probably try and stake one of my brothers, if not me. Hardly a promising start to a relationship.
Relationship?
What the hell was I thinking?
No doubt my impending birthday was making my head fuzzy. There was no other explanation. I just needed more sleep.”

Rendezvous with RamaBookQuoters 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.
