― John Green, Paper Towns

“The crux of the worldview conflict... is the denial of God's right to be God, and the usurpation of that right by man. In a word, it is a life or death struggle over _sovereignty_. Who will be sovereign- man or God?

If God has lost the authority to be sovereign over reality, if He has lost the authority to provide objective law, and if He has lost the authority to reveal absolute truth, then in the eyes of men, He has lost the right to be God. He has been stripped of His "God-ness," or the very attributes which make Him God.

At the same time, man is never content to be godless. He must have a god. Somebody or something must provide that authority. Thus, modern man gladly assumes that position, and humanist man becomes his own ultimate authority... This is the Gettysburg of the worldview war of the 21st century.”
― Kevin Swanson, Apostate

No, sir, not a blank, filled only with what they want you to read...a real book, an original work, in the hand of the writer? The library owns our memories, yet you cannot own your own books! Why? Why do they fear it? Why do they fear to allow you the choice?”
― Rachel Caine, Ink and Bone

“Even that small act of kindness from him set me on an edge.”

“We are seeing a complete cultural shift in our perception of marriage as the preferred state. In fact, I believe this trend is foreshadowing something far more serious—a wholesale rejection of marriage as an institution.”

“Bir hocamın dediği gibi, “Piyasalarda para kaybetmeyi bir eğitim olarak görmek gerekir.” Eğitime ne kadar para harcıyorsanız, piyasalarda da para kaybetmek söz konusu olabiliyor. Onun için buna kesinlikle hazırlıklı olmak gerek”

“She was the most beautiful girl he’d ever seen, he who came from a family of beauties.

Ellen carried herself like a model, tall and slender and prideful. Small nose, enormous black eyes slightly tilted, skin like golden sand. Smooth dark hair not worn in one of the silly modern French fashions but with a bang across her forehead, and brushed down to a slight curve just above her shoulders.”
― Dorothy B. Hughes, The Expendable Man
