“Ey hemşehriler! Niçin uyanıp bu sefalet tozundan silkinmeye uğraşmıyorsunuz? Kabahat herkesten çok kendinizde… Siz, sizi bu cehalet ve geriliğe bağlayan fikirlere destek ve taraftarsınız. Cidden fikirlerinizi aydınlatmaya uğraşanlara sövüp onların iyi, yeni, besleyici, güzel telkinlerini adeta cinayet sayıyorsunuz. Onlar, sizin cahilce kınamalarınızdan korkmasalar, lânetlemelerinizden çekinmeseler, kaç zamandır artık kangrene dönmüş, çürüyüp kokmaya başlamış bu derin gerilik yarasının kaynağını size pek büyük bir açıklıkla gösterecekler… Duyduğunuz her yeni fikre kızmayınız. Onları güzelce kabul için anlama kabiliyeti edinmeye uğraşınız.”
Hüseyin Rahmi Gürpınar, Kuyruklu Yıldız Altında Bir İzdivaç

“One t'ing life's taught me: where there's no capacity for joy, there's no capacity for goodness.”
Robert Galbraith, Troubled Blood

“She quoted Simone de Beauvoir once, during a staff meeting. She’d sworn when she dropped her pen, and Dr. Brenner said, ‘People are always asking me what it’s like working with a lady doctor, and if I ever meet one, I’ll be able to tell them.’ Dorothy laughed—she hardly ever laughed—and Margot snapped right back at him—I know the quotation off by heart now, in French, too—‘Man is defined as a human being and a woman as a female—whenever she behaves as a human being she is said to imitate the male.”
Robert Galbraith, Troubled Blood

“Because men’s crimes are always ours in the final analysis, aren’t they, Mr. Strike? Ultimate responsibility always lies with the woman, who should have stopped it, who should have acted, who must have known. Your failings are really our failings, aren’t they? Because the proper role of the woman is carer, and there’s nothing lower in this whole world than a bad mother.”
Robert Galbraith, Lethal White

“Pretending you’re OK when you aren’t isn’t strength.”
“Well, that’s where you’re wrong,” Robin contradicted him. The champagne had fizzed on her tongue and seemed to give her courage even before it hit her brain. “Sometimes, acting as though you’re all right, makes you all right. Sometimes you’ve got to slap on a brave face and walk out into the world, and after a while it isn’t an act anymore, it’s who you are. If I’d waited to feel ready to leave my room after—you know,” she said, “I’d still be in there. I had to leave before I was ready.”
Robert Galbraith, Lethal White
