“Neoliberalism doesn’t want to do away with politics – neoliberalism wants to put politics at the service of the market. Neoliberals don’t think that the economy should be left in peace, but rather they are for the economy being guided, supported and protected through the spreading of social norms that facilitate competition and rational behaviour. Neoliberal economic theory isn’t built on keeping the hands of politics off the market, it’s built on keeping the hands of politics busy with satisfying the needs of the market. It’s not true that neoliberalism doesn’t want to pursue monetary, fiscal, family or criminal policies. It is rather that monetary, fiscal, family and criminal policies should all be used to procure what the market needs.”

“Ben dışarıdayken evlerden birinden burnuma bir yemek kokusu geldi mi, kendimi müthiş savunmasız hissediyorum. Savunmasız... Bu hayatta hiç sevilmemiş gibi filan hissediyorum.”

“Kiev, you understand, is a medieval city full of wild superstition and mysticism. It has always been the heart of Russian reaction. The Black Hundreds, may they sink into their graves, have aroused against you the most ignorant and brutal of the masses. They are deathly afraid of Jews and at the same time frighten them to death. This reveals to you something about the human condition. Rich or poor, those of our brethren who can run out of here are running. Some who can’t are already mourning.”
― Bernard Malamud, The Fixer

“Bir şey sunulmuştu bana. Bir hediye, bir meyve. Ama ben o meyveden tadamadım, gök erik gibi kaldı avucumda dünya.Şimdi ben uykusuzum, yalınayağım, kendimle meşgulüm. Kapımın önünde boş peynir tenekeleri, yağmur suyu biriktiriyorum. Kendi kendime, sanatçı tecrübe edinemeyen insandır diyorum, bu dünyada hiçbir tecrübesi olmayan insandır ama şimdi sen karala bunun üstünü, yırt sen bunu, olmadı çünkü, olmadı işte. Nafile.”
