“Hiçbir zaman başka bir insanı, o insan en yakınımız olsa bile, tümüyle tanıyamayacağımızı, iki insanın arasında daima görülemez karanlık alanların bulunacağını, iki insanın asla tam anlamıyla bütünleşemeyeceğini fark edip kendimizi bu dünyada yapayalnız hisseder; yüzünü gördüğümüz, sesini duyduğumuz, günlerce aylarca hatta yıllarca konuştuğumuz, birlikte en gizli zevkleri paylaştığımız birinin nasıl olup da bize yabancı olabildiğini anlayamamanın çaresizliğini yaşadık.”
― Ahmet Altan, Aldatmak
