“yaşamım boyunca içimi kemirttiniz. evlenizle. okullarınızla. iş yerlerinizle. özel ya da resmi kuruluşlarınızla içimi kemirttiniz. ölmek istedim, dirilttiniz. yazı yazmak istedim, aç kalırsın, dediniz. aç kalmayı dendim, serum verdiniz. delirdim, kafama elektrik verdiniz.”
― Tezer Özlü, Yaşamın Ucuna Yolculuk

“And we hate people for making mistakes so much more than we love them for doing good that the easiest way to live is to do nothing, say nothing, and love no one.”
― Sally Rooney, Beautiful World, Where Are You

“You're neither unnatural, nor abominable, nor mad; you're as much a part of what people call nature as anyone else; only you're unexplained as yet--you've not got your niche in creation. But some day that will come, and meanwhile don't shrink from yourself, but face yourself calmly and bravely. Have courage; do the best you can with your burden. But above all be honourable. Cling to your honour for the sake of those others who share the same burden. For their sakes show the world that people like you and they can be quite as selfless and fine as the rest of mankind. Let your life go to prove this--it would be a really great life-work, Stephen.”
― Radclyffe Hall, The Well of Loneliness

“Children begin by loving their parents; as they grow older they judge them; sometimes they forgive them.”
― Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray
