Quote by Victoria Holt

“Sometimes I sit at my window looking out on the towers of the Abbas and weep silently. No one must know how I suffered. No one must know how I failed. Sometimes I go and stand in the ring of stones and it seems to me that my fate is more wretched then theirs. They were turned to stone while they were dancing defiance. I wish I could have been.”

“Sometimes the things we do second time around are better and hold more value because we take the time to reflect and review, and revive them through a higher love. Don't be afraid to try again and do-over with greater wisdom, a fresh set of eyes, and a renewed hope. Life is not a straight line of first time successes. It's the road that is paved with failure and seemingly wrong turns that provides us with character, emotional grit and inner muscle to find new perspectives. The only expiry date to your dreams, intentions or goals is the one you allow to soak into your soul.”

“Everything about Wertheimer didn't come from Wertheimer himself, I said to myself now, everything about Wertheimer was always taken from somebody else, copied, he took everything from me, he copied me in everything, and so he even took my failure from me and copied it, I thought. Only his suicide was his own decision and came completely from him, I thought, and so he may have experienced, as they say, a sense of triumph in the end. And perhaps thus, by committing suicide on his own so to speak, he had outstripped me in everything, I thought.”

“দ্বিতীয়বার ফেলটা সব সময় মারাত্মক। তিনবার ফেল করে ফেললে আবার সব স্বাভাবিক। ফেলটা তখন ডাল ভাতের মতো হয়ে যায়। যারা এমনিতেই রাগী স্বভাবের তিনবার ফেল করার পর তাদের মধ্যেও মোলায়েম ভাব চলে আসে। গলার স্বরও মেয়েলি হয়ে যায়। তিনবার ফেলের এটাই আসল মজা।”
