“But we ask in vain if we fail to look beyond the surface — if we forget that beneath each surface lurks another realm, in which a caged mind whirls alone.

― Sabahattin Ali, Madonna in a Fur Coat

“When there’s no way out, you just follow the way in front of you.”
― Anonymous, Gilgamesh

“the world breaks everyone, and afterward, some are strong at the broken places”
― Ernest Hemingway

“yet to learn that nothing in this world can ever match the marvels that we conjure up in our own minds.”
― Sabahattin Ali, Madonna in a Fur Coat
