Parvathy Satheesh

“I realized that the longing for art, like the longing for love, is a malady that blinds us, and makes us forget the things we already know, obscuring reality.”
― Orhan Pamuk, The Museum of Innocence

“Sometimes I would see them not as mementos of the blissful hours but as the tangible precious debris of the storm raging in my soul.”
― Orhan Pamuk, The Museum of Innocence

“It was the happiest moment of my life, though I didn't know it. Had I known, had I cherished this gift, would everything have turned out differently?”
― Orhan Pamuk, The Museum of Innocence

“It's important, no doubt, to understand the person we love. If we cannot manage this, it's necessary, at least, to believe we understand them. I must confess that over the entire eight years I only rarely enjoyed the contentment of the second possibility, let alone the first.”
― Orhan Pamuk, The Museum of Innocence
