“Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain.
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today.
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you.
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun.”
― Pink Floyd

“-Ama doktor, ben hasta değilim...Allah rızası için... size anlattım.
tekrar gözlerini gözlerime dikti en katî sesiyle:
-Hastasınız... diye kesip attı. Psikanaliz çıktığından beri hemen herkes az çok hastadır.”
― Ahmet Hamdi Tanpınar, Saatleri Ayarlama Enstitüsü

“…in that moment, as he saw and smelled how irresistible its effect was and how with lightning speed it spread and made captives of the people all around him—in that moment his whole disgust for humankind rose up again within him and completely soured his triumph, so that he felt not only no joy, but not even the least bit of satisfaction. What he had always longed for—that other people should love him—became at the moment of his achievement unbearable, because he did not love them himself, he hated them. And suddenly he knew that he had never found gratification in love, but always only in hatred—in hating and in being hated.”
― Patrick Süskind, Perfume: The Story of a Murderer

“I've always been mad, I know I've been mad, like the most of us...very hard to explain why you're mad, even if you're not mad...”
