Robert Seethaler
“In his life he too, like all people, had harboured ideas and dreams. Some he had fulfilled for himself; some had been granted to him. Many things had remained out of reach, or barely had he reached them than they were torn from his hands again. But he was still here. And in the mornings after the first snowmelt, when he walked across the dew-soaked meadow outside his hut and lay down on one of the flat rocks scattered there, the cool stone at his back and the first warm rays of sun on his face, he felt that many things had not gone so badly after all.”
Robert Seethaler, Ein ganzes Leben

Leo Tolstoy
“Spring is the time of plans and projects.”
Leo Tolstoy, Anna Karenina

Yaşar Kemal
“Gelecek yıl işte burada, şu bakır rengi dikenliğin yerinde için bulanmadan bakamayacağın çirkin apartmanlar, villalar yükselecek. Sokaklarında yalnız birbirlerine gösteriş yapmak, para para, yalnız para kazanmak için yaşayan, insanlıklarını unutmuş yaratıklar caka satacaklar. Otomobiller yüz elli, iki yüz kilometreyle Londra asfaltında insan ezerek buraya girecek... Belki kuşlar çok derin, eski bir içgüdüyle buraya, o zaman kesilmiş olacak olan şu ulu çınarın üstüne, göğüne uğrayacaklar, bir an duraklayıp bir şeyler arayacak, bir şeyleri anımsamaya çalışacak, beton yığını evlerin üstünde küme küme dolaşacak, konacak bir yer bulamayıp bir uzak keder gibi başlarını alıp çekip gidecekler.”
Yaşar Kemal

“5) All books and ink shall be collected. Thou shall not read or write unnecessarily, nor think unnecessarily.”
Yan Lianke

Among other things, you'll find that you're not the first person who was ever confused
“Among other things, you'll find that you're not the first person who was ever confused and frightened and even sickened by human behavior. You're by no means alone on that score, you'll be excited and stimulated to know. Many, many men have been just as troubled morally and spiritually as you are right now. Happily, some of them kept records of their troubles. You'll learn from them—if you want to. Just as someday, if you have something to offer, someone will learn something from you. It's a beautiful reciprocal arrangement. And it isn't education. It's history. It's poetry.”
J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye
