“لا أعتقد أننا كنا جميعًا على استعداد للموت من أجل قضية عادلة، حتى في سن الثامنة عشر. و لكن تلك المعضلة لم تفارق أذهاننا ولا مناقشاتنا. أسنمضي حياتنا بأكملها، و في كل الأحوال شبابنا، بدون أن تسنح لنا فرصة الإنخراط بملء جوارحنا في معركة تستحق النضال؟ أهناك من حولنا قضية عادلة، يدافع عنها البشر الأنقياء، أو على الأقل الجديرون بالثقة؟ كنت أشك بذلك.”

“Playing the victim role: Manipulator portrays him- or herself as a victim of circumstance or of someone else's behavior in order to gain pity, sympathy or evoke compassion and thereby get something from another. Caring and conscientious people cannot stand to see anyone suffering and the manipulator often finds it easy to play on sympathy to get cooperation.”

“God was a maze without a map, a circle without a centre; the pieces of a jigsaw that never seemed to fit together. If only she could solve this mystery, she could bring meaning to senselessness, reason to madness, order to chaos, and perhaps, too, she could learn to be happy.”

“Mensur böyle dedikten sonra bir bardağı yarıya kadar suyla doldurup içine kaşığın ucuyla iki üç damla rakı damlattı. Peri içkinin suyun içinde külrengi bir mürekkep gibi yayılışını seyretti. Aynı anda babası da onu seyrediyordu sevecen bir ifadeyle.
"Şu damlacıkları görüyor musun? İşte ben ve ruhdaşlarım öyleyiz. Bir cehalet denizinde tutunmaya çalıştık ama dağılıp gidiyoruz.”
