Aldous Huxley
“I'd rather be myself," he said. "Myself and nasty. Not somebody else, however jolly.”
Aldous Huxley, Brave New World

Julie Otsuka
“We forgot about Buddha. We forgot about God. We developed a coldness inside us that still has not thawed. I fear my soul has died. We stopped writing home to our mothers. We lost weight and grew thin. We stopped bleeding. We stopped dreaming. We stopped wanting.
Julie Otsuka, The Buddha in the Attic

Mahmoud Darwish
“I am from there. I am from here.
I am not there and I am not here.
I have two names, which meet and part,
and I have two languages.
I forget which of them I dream in.”
Mahmoud Darwish

Agatha Christie
“It is the brain, the little gray cells on which one must rely. One must seek the truth within--not without." ~ Poirot”
Agatha Christie

Hermann Hesse
“..ama her zaman varlıklıların, belli bir yere kök salmış yaşayanların karşısında onların baş düşmanı olarak yer alır, çünkü bu kişiler göçebelerden nefret eder, onu horlar, ondan korkarlar, çünkü göçebe bazı tatsız şeyleri anımsatır kendilerine, tüm varoluşun gelip geçiciliğini, tüm yaşamın sürekli dağılıp döküldüğünü, çevremizdeki evreni baştan başa dolduran buzsu ölümlerin amansızlığını anımsatır.”
Hermann Hesse, Narcissus and Goldmund
