“Aşk gözleriyle değil, hayaliyle görür”
― William Shakespeare, A Midsummer's Night Dream

“Strange, that girls are so often told that the loss of their virginity marks a threshold between girlhood and womanhood, as if it fundamentally alters them in some way. It was not the sex that changed the girl forever. Not the blood that spilled between her thighs that shaped her. The blood that spilled over that marble floor, though… Those are the stains on one’s innocence that never fade.”
― Carissa Broadbent, The Serpent and the Wings of Night

“Would you forswear a promise for me?" He is smiling to me as though he is teasing.
"What promise?" He sweeps me around him, my leather slippers pirouetting over the packed earth. In the distance, a piper begins to play.
"Any promise," he says lightly, although it is no light thing he is asking.
"I guess it depends," I say, because the real answer, a flat no, isn't what anyone wants to hear.”
― Holly Black, The Cruel Prince

“Senin somurtmandaki hüner, gülümsememde niye yok sanki!”
― William Shakespeare
