Tolga

“Son derece yumuşak başlı bir yaradılışım vardır. Arzularım şunlar; mütevazı bir kulübe, sazdan dam fakat iyi bir yatak ve yemek, tazecik süt ve tereyağı, pencerede çiçekler, kapının önünde birkaç güzel ağaç; ve yüce Tanrı beni tam anlamıyla mutlu kılmak istiyorsa, bu ağaçalarda şöyle altı-yedi düşmanımın sallandığını görme sevinci verir bana. Ölmelerinden önce, mütessir bir halde, bana yaşamda çektirmiş olduklarının hepsini affedeceğim. Evet, insan düşmanlarını affetmelidir fakat ancak onlar asıldıktan sonra.”
― Henrich Heine

“Bu kadar mutlu olmana senden bir şey alacakları zaman izin verirler yalnızca.”
― Khaled Hosseini, The Kite Runner

“Galip, bir keresinde, Rüyâ'ya yazarın da katilin kim olduğunu bilmediği bir polisiye roman yazılırsa okuyacağını söylemişti.”
― Orhan Pamuk, The Black Book

“When the weather's nice, my parents go out quite frequently and stick a bunch of flowers on old Allie's grave. I went with them a couple of times, but I cut it out. In the first place, I don't enjoy seeing him in that crazy cemetery. Surrounded by dead guys and tombstones and all. It wasn't too bad when the sun was out, but twice—twice—we were there when it started to rain. It was awful. It rained on his lousy tombstone, and it rained on the grass on his stomach. It rained all over the place. All the visitors that were visiting the cemetery started running like hell over to their cars. That's what nearly drove me crazy. All the visitors could get in their cars and turn on their radios and all and then go someplace nice for dinner—everybody except Allie. I couldn't stand it. I know it's only his body and all that's in the cemetery, and his soul's in Heaven and all that crap, but I couldn't stand it anyway. I just wished he wasn't there.”
― J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye
