“The only way to survive such shitty times, if you ask me, is to write and read big, fat books, you know? And I’m writing now another book on Hegelian dialectics, subjectivity, ontology, quantum physics and so on. That’s the only way to survive. Like Lenin. I will use his example. You know what Lenin did, in 1915, when World War I exploded? He went to Switzerland and started to read Hegel.”
― Slavoj Žižek

“In such condition, there is no place for Industry; because the fruit thereof is uncertain; and consequently no Culture of the Earth; no Navigation, nor use of the commodities that may be imported by Sea; no commodious Building; no Instruments of moving, and removing such things as require much force; no Knowledge of the face of the Earth; no account of Time; no Arts; no Letters; no Society; and which is worst of all, continual fear, and danger of violent death; And the life of man, solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short.”

“Günlerden pazartesi. Yine vapurun alt kamarasındayım. Yine hava karlı. Yine İstanbul çirkin. İstanbul mu? İstanbul çirkin şehir. Pis şehir. Hele yağmurlu günlerde. Başka günler güzel mi, değil; güzel değil. Başka günler de köprüsü balgamlıdır. Yan sokakları çamurludur, molozludur. Geceleri kusmukludur. Evler güneşe sırtını çevirmiştir. Sokaklar dardır. Esnafı gaddardır. Zengini lakayttır. İnsanlar her yerde böyle. Yaldızlı karyolalarda çift yatanlar bile tek.
Yalnızlık dünyayı doldurmuş. Sevmek, bir insanı sevmekle başlar her şey. Burda her şey bir insanı sevmekle bitiyor.”
― Sait Faik Abasıyanık, Alemdağ'da Var Bir Yılan
