“I could tolerate any form of cruelty better than kindness. Praise was a poison to me; I choked on it.”
― Tara Westover, Educated

“The world rushed in a circle and turned on its axis and time was busy burning the years and the people anyway, without any help from him. So if he burnt things with the firemen and the sun burnt Time, that meant that everything burnt!
One of them had to stop burning. The sun wouldn't, certainly. So it looked as if it had to be Montag and the people he had worked with until a few short hours ago. Somewhere the saving and putting away had to begin again and someone had to do the saving and keeping, one way or another, in books, in records, in people's heads, any way at all so long as it was safe, free from moths, silverfish, rust and dry-rot, and men with matches.”
― Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451

“And she did not have to see him to know that he was there, because the butterflies were always there.”
― Gabriel García Márquez, One Hundred Years of Solitude

“Kalbimizin 40 derece ateşe kaç gün dayanabileceğini,böbreğimizin günün birinde taş yapıp yapmayacağını nasıl bilemezsek,söylenmemesi gereken bir hakikati veya bize zorla söylettirilmek istenen bir yalanı söylememek için ne kadar tazyike tahammül edebileceğimizi de ölçemeyiz.Kimisinde bu mukavemet ölüme kadar devam eder,kimisi ilk korkunun doğurduğu heyecanla yumuşayıverip cellatlarının elinde şekilsiz bir balmumuna döner...Fakat bilebileceğimiz bir şey var ki,o da bu cellatların bize dost olamayacağıdır.”
― Sabahattin Ali, Sırça Köşk
