“insan ölüyorsa acıdan ölür bir gün
kendine bir daha uğrayamadığından,
koyduğu yerde durmayışındandır hayatın
hatanın dönüşsüz oluşundandır.

hiçbir aşk titremez sonsuza değin,
bütünlüğünü yitirişinden ölür bir mum
ve insan kanatlarından
ayrılır bir gün.”
― Birhan Keskin, Kim Bağışlayacak Beni

“I can never read all the books I want; I can never be all the people I want and live all the lives I want. I can never train myself in all the skills I want. And why do I want? I want to live and feel all the shades, tones and variations of mental and physical experience possible in my life. And I am horribly limited.”
― Sylvia Plath, The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath

“I often think, what if one were to begin life over again, knowing what one is about! If one life, which has been already lived, were only a rough sketch so to speak, and the second were the fair copy! Then, I fancy, every one of us would feel compelled not to repeat himself, at the very least to rearrange his manner of life.”
― Anton Chekhov, The Three Sisters

“Let's face it: I'm scared, scared and frozen. First, I guess I'm afraid for myself... the old primitive urge for survival. It's getting so I live every moment with terrible intensity. It all flowed over me with a screaming ache of pain... remember, remember, this is now, and now, and now. Live it, feel it, cling to it. I want to become acutely aware of all I've taken for granted. When you feel that this may be good-bye, the last time, it hits you harder.”
― Sylvia Plath, The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath
