“In the case of good books, the point is not to see how many of them you can get through, but rather how many can get through to you”

“Elbette biliyorum, bu pek işe yaramaz. Hepimiz başkalarının başına gelenleri biliriz, bize çok yabancı görünen hayatları filmlerden, kitaplardan öğreniriz. Anatılanlardan, hiç yaşamak bile, pek çok şey kalır aklımızda...
Ama ancak kendimiz yaşadığımız zaman ne olduğunu gerçekten anlayabiliriz.
Çoğumuz, hayatımızı yıkıp yeniden kuracak kadar cesur değiliz. Onun için de bizi kimbilir nerede bekleyen gerçek mutluluğun peşinden koşamayız.”

“There’s a myth that time is money. In fact, time is more precious than money. It’s a nonrenewable resource. Once you’ve spent it, and if you’ve spent it badly, it’s gone forever.”

“Not forever does the bulbul sing
In balmy shades of bowers,
Not forever lasts the spring
Nor ever blossom the flowers.
Not forever reigneth joy,
Sets the sun on days of bliss,
Friendships not forever last,
They know not life, who know not this.”

“The Internet is transient. Information can be removed with a couple of mouse-clicks; it is an Orwellian dream. We have been advised, by people who claim to know about these things, that there is no point in protesting against a social network. Whoever owns the network will run it as they see fit, normally to maximize their profit margin. Members who dispute the rules will simply be thrown out. The Terms of Use are written so as not to allow them any recourse.”
