“—Sí, mas lo importante no es la edad sino el talento —contestó Jonah—. Existe el talento común, y aparte, existe el talento. Para tenerlo, debes nacer con él, y además, necesitas practicar en serio. No solo cuatro horas al día sino ocho. Todos los días.”

“his coven’s territory? It made his coven look bad—worse than bad. It made them look defenseless. The entire vampire race would convene and hold them to account. And if they didn’t find this rogue, it could mean an outright war. War at a time when they could not afford to have one, at just the moment they were”

“It’s funny how one summer can change everything.”
― Sarah Dessen, quote from That Summer
“So my eyes spotted it and my brain processed it and rejected it instantly, on a purely preprogrammed basis. And then it hung up on it. Out of pure animal instinct. Because it looked like a snake. The lizard part of my brain whispered snake and I got that little primeval jolt of fright that had kept my ancestors alive and well way back in evolution. It was all over in a split second. It was smothered immediately. The modern educated part of my mind stepped in and said, No snakes here in January, bud. Way too cold. I breathed out and moved on a step and then paused to look back, purely out of curiosity.”
― 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
“And your people tried to kill my best friend, so you'll forgive me if I'm not overly keen on learning the secret handshake."
She shook her head sadly. "You should be going on dates and hanging out at the mall. Not wearing stakes on your belt."
I shrugged one shoulder. "The mall sucks.”
― Alyxandra Harvey, quote from My Love Lies Bleeding
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.
