“When you fight for what you believe in, you come across a lot of obstacles. People who don't agree with you, people who agree with you but only some bits, people who delight in ripping you down, people who are threatened by the strength of your belief.
But I was beginning to realise, the biggest hurdle to overcome was the hurdle of yourself.”
― Holly Bourne, quote from What's a Girl Gotta Do?
“I want to change things on my own terms, to show that there's no right or wrong way to change the world. There's no entry test. You don't need to suck anything up. Pay any dues. Just you and your anger and your voice is enough. If you only have the courage to use it.”
― Holly Bourne, quote from What's a Girl Gotta Do?
“Maybe all you needed in life was the belief you could change things. Somehow. Some way.”
― Holly Bourne, quote from What's a Girl Gotta Do?
“Did all the horrid little moments where girls got treated like crap somehow create a society where the horrid big moments could happen”
― Holly Bourne, quote from What's a Girl Gotta Do?
“Damnit, I thought. I really fancy you…”
― Holly Bourne, quote from What's a Girl Gotta Do?
“Yesterday seemed like a lifetime ago. The helplessness I felt, the anger…it had all gone now. Maybe all you needed in life was the belief you could change things. Somehow. Some way.”
― Holly Bourne, quote from What's a Girl Gotta Do?

“Valdžia nebeapsikęsdama 1944 metais į tuos vežimus ėmė kinkyti arklius. Iš viso tą vasarą del nežinomų priežasčių, - ar tik ne del rasinių nusikaltimų? - į koncentracijos lagerį buvo patekę arkliai. Buvo jie, vargšai, pristatyti prie pačių sunkiųjų darbų. Jie turėjo net rąstus tampyti, tokius pat, kokius aš pereitą vasarą tampiau. Tiktai arkliai pasirodė esą sunkiau sukalbami negu žmonės. Rąstus šiaip taip dar jie tempė, bet vežimus su siuntiniais vežioti jie griežtai atsisakė: stojo piestu, lipo į vežimus, maigė siuntinius. Atrodo, šitoks arklių elgesys buvo piktos priešo propagandos vaisius, - šitaip elgtis suagitavo juos kaliniai, patys vežimus prieš tai tempę.”

“Don't what, Princess?" I ask. "You're the one who's rubbing up against my cock like it's a magic lamp.”

“And, nope, Louis never ever thought he’d be the type to drunkenly screech his love to the sleeping world but here he is and here they are and when Harry’s face bursts into life and color like a newborn star, Louis knows that he never wants to stop being this person.
“I LOVE YOU!” he screams again, just to watch the jade of Harry’s eyes dance, and he’s breathless and elated and everything feels endless.
“What are you doing?” Harry giggles, glancing brightly between Louis and the sky as he tumbles over, grabbing for Louis’ hands, his shirt, his face.
“I’m filling up the sky with my love for you,” Louis says simply, catching his breath with a shrug. “So whenever you look up, it echoes back.”

Seven Deadly Sins: S...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.
