“During the year when we were building the new village, the women had become animated again, but then they lapsed into the old sluggishness, never hurrying to complete any task, since there were so few that they preferred to draw them out. That made them seem like old women. They had no reason to look up, so they walked with a stoop. The last passions had fizzled out, their hair was going grey and they seemed to have lost the desire to live. We had survived the prison, the plain and the loss of all hope, but the women had discovered that survival is no more than putting off the moment of death.”

“The power of the gospel lies not in the offer of a new spirituality or religious experience, not in the threat of hellfire (certainly not in the threat of being "left behind"), which can be removed if only the hearer checks this box, says this prayer, raises a hand, or whatever, but in the powerful announcement that God is God, that Jesus is Lord, that the powers of evil have been defeated, that God's new world has begun. This announcement, stated as a fact about the way the world is rather than as an appeal about the way you might like your life, your emotions, or your bank balance to be, is the foundation of everything else.”

“To the extent that heaven above is isolation, it seems to be hell. To the extent that hell below is a crowd, it apparently is heaven. Maybe we are condemned to an endless nagging sense of discomfort balanced against comfort, satisfaction against the itch to escape.”

“Because I want to know! Sometimes, you can use what you know, but that's not what counts most. I want to know everything there is to know. Not because it's any use, but for the pleasure of knowing, and now I demand that you teach me everything you know, even if I will never be able to use it.”

“Aşk hiç de sizin söylediğiniz basit sempati veya bazen derin olabilen sevgi değildir. O büsbütün başka, bizim tahlil edemediğimiz öyle bir histir ki, nereden geldiğini bilmediğimiz gibi, günün birinde nereye kaçıp gittiğini de bilmeyiz. Halbuki arkadaşlık devamlıdır ve anlaşmaya bağlıdır. Nasıl başladığını gösterebilir ve bozulursa bunun sebeplerini tahlil edebiliriz. Aşka girmeyen şey ise tahlildir. Sonra düşünün, dünyada hepimizin hoşlandığımız birçok kimseler, mesela benim hakikaten sevdiğim birçok dostlarım vardır. (Muhterem Beyefendinin bunların en başında geldiğini söyleyebilirim.) Şimdi ben bütün bu insanlara âşık mıyım?”
