Fyodor Dostoevsky
“You see gentlemen, there are ideas . . . that is, you see, when some ideas are said out loud, put into words, they come out terribly stupid. They come out so that you're ashamed of yourself. But why? For no reason at all. Because we're all good-for-nothings and can't bear the truth, or I don't know why else.”
Fyodor Dostoyevsky, The Meek One

Ahmet Hamdi Tanpınar
“elbette öyle bir adamla karşılaşma, göz göze gelme bir uğur, bir saadetti. Elbette insana bu yüzden birtakım iyilikler gelecekti. Nitekim öyle oldu. O geceden sonra, hatta o gece içinde hemen hemen hayatımın mahreki ve mânası değişti. Bu evvela üzerimden bahsettiğim ağırlığın kalkmasıyla başladı. Sonra yavaş yavaş mantığım değişti. Hatta dünyaya bakışım, eşyayı görüşüm, insanları anlayışım değişti. Vâkıa bunlar bir günde olmadı. Hatta çok güçlükle ve adım adım oldu. Hatta çok defa bana rağmen oldu. Fakat oldu. (s. 218-219)”
Ahmet Hamdi Tanpınar, Saatleri Ayarlama Enstitüsü

Fyodor Dostoevsky
“Take an act of magnanimity that is difficult, quiet, muted, without splendour, where you’re slandered, where there’s much sacrifice and not a drop of glory.”
Fyoder Dostoevsky Dostoyevsky, The Gentle Spirit

Meg Jay
“Among the most supported theories is that what is actually most useful about telling our secrets goes further than simple stress release; putting our experiences into words helps us begin to make sense of our thoughts and feelings. Remember, especially for children, secrets are often the product of moments when we say to ourselves, if we say anything at all, “There are no words. I don’t know what to do with that. I don’t know where to put that.” What does it mean, then, to take a feeling or an experience and, literally, “put it into words”? Words are labels and categories. They are boxes that organize the scattered contents of our minds. So when we talk about our experiences we are sorting them out, whether we intend to be or not, just by putting them into places where they might fit. We are able to say, “There are words. I do know what to do with that. I do know where to put that.” The very act of doing so makes our most confusing or disturbing experiences more organized and understandable, and it makes them less scary and upsetting as well. Like P. D. James said about the detective story, putting feelings into words can be a restoration of order.”

Meg Jay
“One thing I have learned is that many, many people feel isolated with similar problems, unaware that they are not as alone or as different as they think.”
Meg Jay, Supernormal: The Untold Story of Adversity and Resilience
