“One heart is not connected to another through harmony alone. They are, instead, linked deeply through their wounds. Pain linked to pain, fragility to fragility.

― Haruki Murakami, Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage

“In Berlin I have time and again met people who make no secret of the fact that their only reason for stirring at such an ungodly hour of the morning is so that they can leave the office earlier in the afternoon. I have suggested to several of these eight-hour logicians that they ought to start work at ten o’clock at night, thereby allowing them to leave at six in the morning and perhaps even arrive home before it is time to get up.”
― Timur Vermes, Er ist wieder da

“اگر مغز خالی هم مثل شکم خالی سرو صدا
!می کرد، انسان خیلی عاقل تر از اینها بود”
