Quotes by Sâmiha Ayverdi (?)

“...Evet ben de sevdim. Şimdi dudaklarıma tebessüm,içime eza ve can sıkıntısı veren bu aşk, zevkle seyrettiğimiz altın renkli bir bulut yığını gibi çabucak rengini ve şeklini değiştirdi...”
― Samiha Ayverdi, Yaşayan Ölü

“Zaten biz insanların tashih olmayan yanlışımız, aşktan şifa ümit etmemizdir; gerçi onun bir şifa olduğu muhakkak. Fakat çeşnisine bakanı zehirleyip öldüren bir şifa.
Gene diyorum ki ölürsem ne gam? Su yolunda kırılan testiye acınır mı?”
― Samiha Ayverdi, Yaşayan Ölü
