“Love doesn't just sit there, like a stone, it has to be made, like bread; remade all the time, made new.”
― Ursula K. Le Guin, The Lathe of Heaven

“Ama yazgısını yaldızlı çokomel kağıtları gibi,
Tırnaklarıyla düzeltemiyor insan.”
― Didem Madak, Ah'lar Ağacı

“I had no one to help me, but the T. S. Eliot helped me.

So when people say that poetry is a luxury, or an option, or for the educated middle classes, or that it shouldn’t be read at school because it is irrelevant, or any of the strange stupid things that are said about poetry and its place in our lives, I suspect that the people doing the saying have had things pretty easy. A tough life needs a tough language – and that is what poetry is. That is what literature offers – a language powerful enough to say how it is.

It isn’t a hiding place. It is a finding place.”
― Jeanette Winterson, Why Be Happy When You Could Be Normal?

“Sen de fark ettin mi? Az, dediğin, küçücük bir kelime. Sadece A ve Z. Sadece iki harf. Ama aralarında koca bir alfabe var. O alfabeyle yazılmış onbinlerce kelime ve yüzbinlerce cümle var. Sana söylemek isteyip de yazamadığım sözler bile o iki harfin arasında.”
― Hakan Günday
