“Hazmedememişti İskender bu ihaneti. Sevip de kandırmayı. İnsanın canı kadar sevdiği birini oyuna getirebileceği aklının ucundan dahi geçmemişti. O güne dek bilmezdi, birine bütün kalbinle muhabbet besleyip yine de onu incitmek istemenin mümkün olabileceğini.

Sevginin ve aşkın karmakarışık halleri üzerine aldığı ilk hayat dersiydi bu.”
― Elif Shafak, İskender

“That kind of love comes and goes and is hard to remember afterwards, like pain. You would look at the man one day and you would think, I loved you, and the tense would be past, and you would be filled with a sense of wonder, because it was such an amazing and precarious and dumb thing to have done; and you would know too why your friends had been evasive about it, at the time. There is a good deal of comfort, now, in remembering this.”
― Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid’s Tale

“You don’t have to be the kind of beautiful that everyone can agree on. If the right person finds you beautiful, you win. You win forever.”
― Rainbow Rowell
