Never, never in all my existance had I been threateened with an intimacy quite like this.”
― Anne Rice, The Vampire Lestat

“I sit on that line that so many sit on, the line between beautiful and not. I can reach it on a good day, during the follicular phase of my cycle, if I didn’t sleep on my face, with just the right amount of plucking and primping and a great hair day and God’s grace during my makeup routine. It’s the line that keeps me even more stuck on the hamster wheel of the pursuit of beauty. Even more dependent on makeup tutorials and tips-and-tricks videos and “that perfect cream bronzer.” Because anything could be the thing that makes the difference between me being beautiful or not.”
― Jennette McCurdy, Half His Age

“It's been my experience that you can nearly always enjoy things if you make up your mind firmly that you will.”
― Lucy Maud Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables

“Being around Rob was great for all of us. It was a constant celebration. But it brought out some insecurities in me. Watching Rob spring onto the stage with virtually no rehearsal, having just put out his last fag, and then proceeding to slay the audience, was, frankly, annoying.

That's not me. We are both performers to our bones but our approach to getting a great performance could not be more different. I'll do six weeks of rehearsals. I'll know what I'm singing and where I'm standing for every moment of the show. I depend on preparation. Rob just rocks on there. You can't help but feel like he's better.

On that tour, it was absolutely inevitable that I would end up competitive dieting with Robbie.

Forget anthems, record sales, tickets sold, houses and all the other status symbols. The battle between Rob and Gaz would be fought over apples.”
― Gary Barlow, A Better Me: The Official Autobiography

“Tuhaf, dolambaçlı bir düşünüş yönteminiz var, Mr. Rochester; hatta kimi prensiplerinizin yazık ki, acayip olduğu bile söylenebilir.”

― Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre

“Kararını vermişti artık. Bırakacaktı, bu evi, bu hayatı, bu hep başkalarının arzularına göre seçilmiş eşyayı, bütün bu mecburiyeti. Neden mecbur olsundu ki. Bir kadın neden bütün hayatını başkalarının mutluluğu üzerine kurup sonra da her mutsuzlukta kabahatli çıkan olmak zorundaydı ki zaten? Aman şu üzülmesin, aman buna laf gelmesin diye bütün bir ömrü gereksiz bir mengenenin sıkışıklığında geçirdikten sonra bir de üstüne, sanki doğuştan verili bir görevi başaramamış gibi her sızlanışında taşa tutulmak neden kaderi olsundu? Yeterdi! Kırk birinci yaşının ortasında artık bu durumu kader saymaktan vazgeçmeyi bilecekti. Azıcık sevildi diye, belki de ömür boyu aşağılanmış hissettirmekten başka hiçbir şeye yaramayacak bir şefkatle, bıraksalar çaresizce helak olup tükenecekmiş de, neyse ki bir erkek onu lütfuyla kanatları altına alıverince kurtulmuş gibi muamele görsün diye kalan ömrünü don, çorap yıkayarak, koltukta sızmış adamın üstüne battaniye taşıyarak geçirmeyecekti.”
― Mahir Ünsal Eriş, Sarıyaz

“Yaşlandığını hissettiği günden beri, vücudunu nereye gitse peşinden gelen, manasız bir sevgiyi ona vermek için çabalayan bir köpek gibi görüyordu. Acıktıkça, susadıkça, üşüdükçe vücuduyla didişiyordu. Ama elemle geçmiş yılların kuruttuğu zavallı ruhu için bu vücut, halden hiç anlamıyordu.”
― Ayfer Tunç, Aziz Bey Hadisesi

“Ama insan yine de bildiği bataklığı, bilmediği berrak göle tercih ediyor.”
― Ceren Ceran, Tercih
