Pat Conroy
“We had made the error of staying small – and there is no more unforgivable crime in America.”
― Pat Conroy, The Prince of Tides

Emem Uko
“She was knowingly punishing herself. That was the only reasonable explanation. There was no use in acting naive. What happened earlier in the day was proof that she was going to give in to his flirtation. It appeared she'd thrown caution to the wind and opened her arms to embrace everything that could go wrong in her life. What's one more problem to add to the pile?”
― Emem Uko, The Place That Gave

William S. Burroughs
“And there are my cats, engaged in a ritual that goes back thousands of years, tranquilly licking themselves after the meal. Practical animals, they prefer to have others provide the food ... some of them do. There must have been a split between the cats who accepted domestication and those who did not.”
― William S. Burroughs, The Cat Inside

Eli Wilde
“Maybe my legs are moving toward the house because that’s what they want to do rather than me wanting to go there.”
I walked toward the house.
Macy’s legs followed.”
― Eli Wilde, Orchard of Skeletons

Adam Smith
“O felsefede insan yaşamının ödevleri, insan yaşamınının mutluluğuna ve kemaline hizmet edecek araçlar olarak ele alınıyordu. Ama gerek ahlak, gerek doğa felsefesi, yalnızca ilahiyata yardımcı gibi öğretilmeye başlanınca, insan yaşamınon ödevleri daha çok, bir yaşamın mutluluğuna hizmet edecek ödevler olarak ele alındı. Eski felsefede, erdemin kemali, sahibi için, bu yaşamda en kamil mutluluğu ister istemez yaratır diye anlatılıyordu.”
― Adam Smith
