Arthur Conan Doyle
“There are many men in London, you know, who, some from shyness, some from misanthropy, have no wish for the company of their fellows. Yet they are not averse to comfortable chairs and the latest periodicals. It is for the convenience of these that the Diogenes Club was started, and it now contains the most unsociable and unclubbable men in town. No member is permitted to take the least notice of any other one. Save in the Stranger's Room, no talking is, under any circumstances, allowed, and three offenses, if brought to the notice of the committee, render the talker liable to expulsion. My brother was one of the founders, and I have myself found it a very soothing atmosphere.”
Arthur Conan Doyle, The Adventure of the Greek Interpreter (The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes, #9 )

Orhan Pamuk
“Sometimes I sensed that the books I read in rapid succession had set up some sort of murmur among themselves, transforming my head into an orchestra pit where different musical instruments sounded out, and I would realize that I could endure this life because of these musicales going on in my head.”
Orhan Pamuk, The New Life

David Foster Wallace
“There are these two young fish swimming along and they happen to meet an older fish swimming the other way, who nods at them and says "Morning, boys. How's the water?" And the two young fish swim on for a bit, and then eventually one of them looks over at the other and goes "What the hell is water?”
David Foster Wallace, This Is Water: Some Thoughts, Delivered on a Significant Occasion, about Living a Compassionate Life

Orhan Pamuk
“The entire world was like a palace with countless rooms whose doors opened into one another. We were able to pass from one room to the next only by exercising our memories and imaginations, but most of us, in our laziness, rarely exercised these capacities, and forever remained in the same room.”
Orhan Pamuk

Oğuz Atay
“Bana çay pişir. Bırakalım her şey kendi kendine düzene girsin. Yavaş yavaş soyunalım. Bir şey kaybetmek korkusuyla yaşamayalım. Ne olacak endişesine kapılmayalım. Bırakalım zaman her şeyi halletsin. Bu söz bize korkunç gelmesin. Aynı ırmağa bir kere daha girelim. Acele etme, çay kendi kendine demlenir... Günlük yaşantıların küçük koşuşmaları içinde bunalmayalım, nefes nefese kalmayalım. İnsan kendini kaybediyor sonra.”
Oğuz Atay, Tehlikeli Oyunlar
