“So, dear reader, we have come to the end of my trials. You have followed me through five volumes of adventures and six months of pain and suffering. By my reckoning, you have read two hundred and ten of my haiku. Like Meg, you surely deserve a reward. What would you accept? I am fresh out of unicorns. However, anytime you take aim and prepare to fire your best shot, anytime you seek to put your emotions into a song or poem, know that I am smiling on you. We are friends now. Call on me. I will be there for you.”
― Rick Riordan, The Tower of Nero

“Deniz Gezmiş'le o gün, devrimci bir edebiyatın nasıl olması gerektiği, bizde bunun örneklerinin az oluşunun nedenleri, az gelişmiş ülke edebiyatlarının özellikleri üzerinde pek çok şey konuştuk.
Bir ara Deniz,
"Bugünler de yazılmalı," dedi.
"Yazılacak," dedim.
"Yarının gerçek devrimci sanatı, bugünün mahpusanelerinden çıkacak, göreceksin," dedi.
"Bunu zaman gösterecek," dedim.
"Yazarlarımız konu sıkıntısı çekiyorlardı. İşte olay, işte konu," dedi.
Doğru şeyler söylüyordu.”
― Erdal Öz, Deniz Gezmiş Anlatıyor

“I’m just trying to live my life, but it seems as if sadness always piles itself up around me. It’s in my bed, the toothbrush in my bathroom, and the memory of my cellphone. Over the past few years, I’ve wanted to move on, I’ve wanted to take hold of something I couldn’t reach. What that is, I have no idea. Not knowing where such obsessive thoughts were coming from, I simply drowned myself in my work. Then one day I realized that my heart was withering, and in it there was nothing but pain. And that my beliefs, that I once held so passionately, had completely disappeared.”
― Makoto Shinkai, 5 Centimeters Per Second

“Even if the world is cruel, even if all I have is loneliness, I’ll still live with everything I’ve got. Even if this emotion is all I have, I’ll keep struggling.”
― Makoto Shinkai, Your name.
