“All human progress is in a circle; or, to use a more accurate and beautiful figure, in an ascending spiral curve. While we fancy ourselves going straight forward, and attaining, at every step, an entirely new position of affairs, we do actually return to something long ago tried and abandoned, but which we now find etherealized, refined, and perfected to its ideal. The past is but a coarse and sensual prophecy of the present and the future.”
― Nathaniel Hawthorne, The House of the Seven Gables

“Your favorite story, whatever it might be, was written for one reader.”
― Victor Levin

“Candide: "Çok acımasızsınız" dedi. Martin: "Hayatın ne olduğunu biliyorum da ondan" diye yanıtladı.”
― Voltaire

“I want to live somewhere where it rains a lot and things grow furiously. I want to see the fruits of the earth multiply and all that sort of thing. I want to make provision for the future. I want to lay up riches on earth since I don’t believe in heaven. Not material riches— I want green fields and fat cows and oak trees.”
― Penelope Lively, Moon Tiger
