“I like you to be exactly the way you are, because in all my - experience - I have never known anyone like you.”
― Tennessee Williams, A Streetcar Named Desire

“It is much more important to be oneself than anything else. Do not dream of influencing other people...Think of things in themselves.”
― Virginia Woolf, A Room of One’s Own

“İlk kez öldürdüğünde bir değil, sanki bin kişiyi öldürmüş gibi olursun. Yeni doğmuş ve annesi tarafından emzirilen o bebeği öldürmüşsündür. Babasının başını okşadığı o çocuğu da, bir genç kıza aşkını ilan eden o delikanlıyı da, zavallı bir kadının kocasını da,savaşa giderken ailesi tarafından uğurlanan o masumu da... Bütün bu kişileri öldürmüş olursun. İkinci kez birini öldürdüğünde alt tarafı bir tek kişiyi öldürmüşsündür. Üçüncü kez ise kimseyi öldürmüş sayılmazsın.”
― İhsan Oktay Anar, Amat

“She would not say of any one in the world that they were this or were that. She felt very young; at the same time unspeakably aged. She sliced like a knife through everything; at the same time was outside, looking on. She had a perpetual sense, as she watched the taxi cabs, of being out, far out to the sea and alone; she always had the feeling that it was very, very dangerous to live even one day. Not that she thought herself clever, or much out of the ordinary. How she had got through life on the few twigs of knowledge Fraulein Daniels gave them she could not think. She knew nothing; no language, no history; she scarcely read a book now, except memoirs in bed; and yet to her it was absolutely absorbing; all this; the cabs passing; and she would not say of Peter, she would not say of herself, I am this, I am that.”
― Virginia Woolf, Mrs. Dalloway
