“Nothing is worse and more hurtful than a happiness that comes too late. It can give no pleasure, yet it deprives you of that most precious of rights - the right to swear and curse at your fate!”
― Ivan Turgenev, quote from Rudin

“I returning South on horseback, by Rome, Allatoona, Marietta, Atlanta, and Madison, Georgia. Stockton stopped at Marietta, where he resided. Hammond took the cars at Madison, and I rode alone to Augusta, Georgia, where I left the horse and returned to Charleston and Fort Moultrie by rail. Thus by a mere accident I was enabled to traverse on horseback the very ground where in after-years I had to conduct vast armies and fight great battles. That the knowledge thus acquired was of infinite use to me, and consequently to the government, I have always felt”
― William T. Sherman, quote from Memoirs of General W.T. Sherman

“Hermione uzanıp yanağına dokundu, kederle gülümsüyordu. “Gördüğüm en mutsuz gelinsin.”


Lucy gözlerini kapadı. “Mutsuz değilim. Ben sadece şey hissediyorum...”


Ama ne hissettiğini bilmiyordu. Ne hissetmesi gerekiyordu ki?Kimse bunun için eğitmemişti onu.Bütün eğitimi boyunca; dadısı,mürebbiyesi ve Bayan Moss’un Okulu’nda geçirdiği üç yıl boyunca kimse ona bunun dersini vermemişti. Neden kimse bunun dikiş nakıştan ve yerel danslardan daha önemli olduğunu fark etmemişti?

“Ben...” Artık anlamıştı. “Ben veda ediyormuş gibi hissediyorum.”

Hermione hayretle gözlerini kırpıştırdı. “Kime?”


Kendime...”
― Julia Quinn, quote from On the Way to the Wedding
