― Behcet Kaya, Uncanny Alliance

“That's why Twinkle likes the place so much, Scott thought, looking around at the faded wood veneer tables, and the faded souls drinking at them. Misery was soaked through the place like the old beer soaked through its carpets.”

“من فکر می‌کنم آن چه موجب
رنجش آدم‌ها از یکدیگر می‌شود،
این است که: غالبا ما آدم‌ها توقع

هر آدمی، دنیای متفاوتی وجود
دارد که با پذیرش این تفاوت‌ها،
روابط شکل مناسب‌تری خواهند داشت.”
― گونتر گراس
