“Two possibilities exist: either we are alone in the Universe or we are not. Both are equally terrifying.”
― Arthur C. Clarke

“If you are looking for me
I am beyond nowhere [ … ]

Beyond nowhere there is a place desire opens
like an umbrella,
breeze like thirst sinks deep into the leaves.

Bells of rain carol fresh watery tunes
about how lonely humans are here
where the shadows of tree trunks stream into
endlessness.

If you are looking for me,
come soft and quietly, lest you crack the glass
heart
that cups my loneliness.”
― Sohrab Sepehri, The Oasis of Now: Selected Poems

“It may not happen in the first instant, but within ten minutes of meeting a man, a woman has a clear idea of who he is, or at least who he might be for her, and her heart of hearts has already told her whether or not she's going to fall in love with him.”
― Orhan Pamuk

“It was the happiest moment of my life, though I didn't know it.”
― Orhan Pamuk
