The Deliberate Sinner by Bhavna Arora

Few of my favourite lines from the book.

"... No problem was bigger than its solution"

"Either you die, or you kill your enemy; there is no other way."

"Pain and pleasure are inseparable"

"a man is the weakest after his erection and before his spurt"

"One is the best judge of one's kettle of fish."

"Love, like yawning, is contagious."

"The only thing that is ever permanent is change."

"Women are stronger than men in all respects."

"One never wins a battle through anger."

"A man helps a man, but a woman - she's the woman's  biggest enemy."

"The solution of all problems is a good fucking orgasm"

"... a damsel in distress is a darling to both men and women,..."

Older people always carry a lot of experience behind them and that is reflected in their words and actions."

"There is nothing more lucrative foe a woman than a husband caught red-handed. You could rule veer for the rest of your life."

"...if girls were not narrated stories of a prince rescuing the damsels in distress, they would not have waited for miracles to happen but instead been a little more realistic."

"It is always the unseen which is more consequential than the seen."

"With passion you never cease to grow..."

Virginity

I fail to understand the hype around this word - Virginity. ~ Amita Gulia Sehrawat

People with lost personalities will suffer a great deal more than those with lost virginities. ~ Meline Marchetta

“I know this sounds incredibly lame,
but I don't want losing my virginity
to feel like I'm losing something.
I want it to feel like I'm finding something.
I want sex to be amazing.
I want it to be life-alteringly wonderful.
And I want it to happen with someone I love.” ~  Sonya Sones


It is one of the superstitous of the human mind to have imagined that virginity could be a virtue. ~ Voltaire

Virginity can be lost be a thought. ~ St. Jerome

Find a boy who would rather steal your first kiss than your virginity. ~ Xuan Ta Quotes

Having sex doesn't make you a slut, and being a virgin doesn't make you a saint. ~Unknown source

Virginity is not dignity, its lack of opportunity. ~ MArtin Kagecha quotes

It is difficult to believe in a religion that places such a high premium on chasity and virginity. ~ Madonna

Digital Fortress by Dan Brown

I found below lines from the book Digital Fortress by Dan Brown worth noting:
  • It is said that in death, all things become clear
  • Everything is possible. The impossible just takes longer.
  • Many hands make light work.
  • Hiroshima, 8:15 a.m. August 6, 1945—a vile act of destruction. A senseless display of power by a country that had already won the war. 
  • You can’t jump for the stars if your feet hurt, her aunt had once told her.
  •  And when you get where you’re going, you darn well better look great!
  • There are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in your philosophy.
  •  Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? Who will guard the guards?
  •  Act first, explain later.
  •  Child psychology only works on children.
  • There are always other options!
  • Force a hand, and it will fight you. But convince and mind to think as you want it to think, an you have an ally
  • All the pieces in the game had shifted.
  • The human mind is the fastest computer in existence.
  • I’m a survivor—but survivals nothing without honor. I’d rather die than live in the shadow of disgrace.
  • Dearest Susan,
            I love you.
                  Without wax, David.

A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini

I could not help but re-read the following lines on the journey of - 'A Thousand Splendid Suns".
  • One could not count the moons that shimmer on her roofs, Or the thousand splendid suns that hide behind her walls.
  • Learn this now and learn it well, my daughter: Like a compass needle that points north, a man's accusing finger always finds a woman. Always. You remember that, Mariam.
  • There is only one, only one skill a woman like you and me needs in life, and they don't teach it in school. Look at me... Only one skill, and it's this: tahamul. Endure.
  • She remembered Nana saying once that each snowflake was a sigh heaved by an aggrieved woman somewhere in the world. That all the sighs drifted up the sky, gathered into clouds, then broke into tiny pieces that fell silently on the people below.
  • As a reminder of how women like us suffer, she'd said. How quietly we endure all that falls upon us.
  • A man's heart is a wretched, wretched thing. It isn't like a mother's womb. It won't bleed. It won't stretch to make room for you.
  • Give sustenance, Allah.Give sustenance to me.
  • But remember my girl, what the koran says, 'Blessed is he in whose hand is the kingdom, and he who has power over all things, who created death and life that he may try you.
  • Marriage can wait, education cannot.
  • Because a society has no chance of success if its women are uneducated, Laila. No chance
  • Love can move people to act in unexpected ways and move them to overcome the most daunting obstacles with startling heroism.
  • And the past held only this wisdom: that love was a damaging mistake, and its accomplice, hope, a treacherous illusion.
  • But the game involves only male names. Because, if it's a girl, Laila has already named her
  • You can not stop you from being who you are.
  • People…shouldn't be allowed to have new children if they’d already given away all their love to their old ones. It wasn't fair.
  • Of all the hardships a person has to face, none was more punishing than the simple act of waiting.
  • That I only have eyes for you.
  • Tell your secret to the wind, but don’t blame it for telling the trees.
  • The Chinese say it’s better to be deprived of food for three days than tea for one.
  • One could not count the moons that shimmer on her roofs, or the thousand splendid suns that hide behind her walls
  • Mariam is in Laila's own heart, where she shines with the bursting radiance of a thousand suns, but the game involves only male names. Because, if it's a girl, Laila has already names her.

The Wedding by Nicholas Sparks- My Favourite lines

Below are few lines I loved from the book "The Wedding" by Nicholas Sparks

  • “What are we, after all, without our memories … without our dreams?”
  • “Everything a baby does strikes a parent as the most magical thing he/she has ever seen.” 
  • “Love I have realized is more than 3 words mumbled before bedtime. Love is sustained by action, a pattern of devotion in the things we do for each other every day.
  • “Gifts of the heart can't be claimed by anyone except the giver.” 
  • “Is it possible, I wonder, for a man to truly change? Or do character and habit form the immovable boundaries of our lives?” 
  • “How many people are ever given that chance? To have someone you fall in love with you ever over and over?”
  • "Marriage is about compromise; it's about doing something for the other person, even when you don't want to.”
  • “There is nothing quite peaceful as holding a sleeping child in the comfort of your arms and wondering how it’s possible to care so deeply.”
