Adını bilmese de insan, öyle dermiş sanki. Belki serçeparmak değil küçük parmak denirdi. Ama öylesi de doğru. Yüzükparmağı gibi uydurma değil, sanki yüzük bir tek o parmağa takılırmış ya da yüzük icat olmadan önce o parmak yokmuş gibi.”

“There’s a certain man, an archetype, he’s a model of dependability for his male friends, all the things a friend should be, an ally and confidant, lends money, gives advice, loyal and so on, but sheer hell on women.

This is the man you’re going to marry.”
― Don DeLillo, Falling Man

“I was falling in love with myself. Not that beauty, or life itself, means much if you’re in a room on your own. Heaven is other people.”
― Hanif Kureishi, The Body

“What do children know? They know who they are, she said, in ways we can’t know and they can’t tell us.”
