Charlotte Brontë
“Do not let me think of them too often, too much, too fondly,' I implored: 'let me be content with a temperate draught of this living stream: let me not run athirst, and apply passionately to its welcome waters: let me not imagine in them a sweeter taste than earth's fountains know.”
Charlotte Brontë, Villette

Attilâ İlhan
“zeynep beni bekle / gece ağaçlarına
yağmur çiseliyorum / cam tozu su beyazı
yalnızlığını mutlaka değiştireceğim
bir yaprak halinde süzülüp saçlarına
eski teşrin'lerden / kederli kırmızı
zeynep beni bekle mutlaka döneceğim
söyle kim önleyebilir buluşmamızı
geceleyin ışıkları söndürdüğün zaman
benim şiir kitaplarından sızan aydınlık
elinde uyuyakaldığın heyecanlı roman
pancurların çarpıldığı lodos geceleri
rüzgârın değil benim / pencerendeki ıslık
her akşam koridordaki ayak sesleri
yanlış çaldığını zannettiğin telefon
zeynep beni bekle mutlaka geleceğim
hem bu ne ilk ayrılığımız ne de son
pikapta eminağa acemaşirân saz semaisi
sokakta çocuklar saklambaç hırsız polis
hayat akıp gidiyor olsam da olmasam da
saati durmamalı ufak sorumlulukların
resmi bırakmadın ya / son çektiğin hangisi
bak mektuplar birikmiş yine masamda
fakülteler açılacak bak bugün yarın
zeynep beni bekle mutlaka geleceğim
başladığımız filmi birlikte bitireceğiz
kim ne derse desin içimde delice bir his”
Attilâ İlhan

Jonas Mekas
“I read a lot. I listen a lot. I think a lot. But so little remains. The books I read, their plots, their protagonists fade. The university lectures that I had found pretty impressive on first hearing, have faded away. Now I am listening to one on Pirandello. Names of people, books, cities. They are already fading away. Even the titles of films I’ve seen recently — they have already faded. Authors of thousands of books I’ve read... All that remains are the colours of their bindings, their covers. I don’t remember much about Beauty and the Beast, but I remember clearly, vividly the hear of the day as we were crossing the Rhine bridge, to see the film. Everything that I see, or red, or listen to, connects, translates into moods, bits of surroundings, colors. No, I am not a novelist. No precision of observation, detail. With me, everything is mood, mood, or else —simply nothingness.”
Jonas Mekas, I Had Nowhere to Go

Leo Tolstoy
“The whole world is now for me divided into two halves: one half is she, and there all is joy, hope, light: the other half is everything where she is not, and there is all gloom and darkness”
Leo Tolstoy, War and Peace

Charlotte Brontë
“Is the wandering and sinful, but now rest-seeking and repentant, man justified in daring the world’s opinion, in order to attach to him for ever this gentle, gracious, genial stranger, thereby securing his own peace of mind and regeneration of life?” “Sir,” I answered, “a wanderer’s repose or a sinner’s reformation should never depend on a fellow-creature.  Men and women die; philosophers falter in wisdom, and Christians in goodness: if any one you know has suffered and erred, let him look higher than his equals for strength to amend and solace to heal.”
Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre
