― Brittany Cavallaro, quote from The Last of August
“Bu söylediğiniz bir an meselesidir." dedim. "İçinizde mevcut olan sevgi, alaka, sarih olarak bilinmeyen bazı vesilelerle, zamanı tayin edilemeyecek olan bir anda, birdenbire birikir, yoğunlaşır; nasıl tatlı tatlı ısıtan güneş ışığı bir zaman sonra bir noktada toplanıyor ve yakmaya başlıyorsa, kuvvetini fevkalade arttıran bu sevgi de sizi sarar ve tutuşturur. Onu dışarıdan birdenbire gelen bir şey zannetmek doğru değildir. O, içimizde zaten mevcut olan hislerin bizi şaşırtacak kadar şiddetlenivermesinden ibarettir.”

“But I feel so helpless.” “That is usually the rule when you are taken advantage of. You can be the most powerful witch in the land, but you will always have a weakness, and that will always make you believe you have no power when someone exploits it.

Pretty Little LiarsBookQuoters 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.
