“What I learned from that intensely educational period of my life is that one kind of misfit is the person who suffers abuse or trauma and doesn't transcend it in the socially hoped-for way. We take a wrong turn or go deeper down. That's often looked at like a failure, but sometimes I wonder. I've learned things by taking the wrong turn or going down deeper that I could not have learned any other way.”
― Lidia Yuknavitch, The Misfit's Manifesto

“Lord Ram gave Hanuman a quizzical look and said, "What are you, a monkey or a man?" Hanuman bowed his head reverently, folded his hands and said, "When I do not know who I am, I serve You and when I do know who I am, You and I are One.”
― Tulsidas, Ramcharitmanas

“Grown-ups don't look like grown-ups on the inside either. Outside, they're big and thoughtless and they always know what they're doing. Inside, they look just like they always have. Like they did when they were your age. Truth is, there aren't any grown-ups. Not one, in the whole wide world.”
― Neil Gaiman, The Ocean at the End of the Lane

“Hayat seni kendinden uzaklaşmaya başladığında yakalar ve öyle bir köşeye sıkıştırır ki kaçamazsın. İçindeki gücü bulup dönüşmen gereken şeyi net bir şekilde görene, anlayana kadar sıkıştırır. Acıtır. Anlamadan gidemezsin nu dünyadan çünkü anlamak, anlamlandırmak için buradasın. Kendini bulmadan var olamazsın çünkü potansiyelini doldurmak zorundasın”
― Azra Kohen, Çi
