“Aşk, benim için de, benim gibiler için de, biraz fazla. Fazla güzel bir şey. Ne uçmak geliyor elimden, ne de ötmek. Her şeyden önce yiyip içmeye ihtiyacım var; halbuki, aşık olursam yiyip içemem.”
― Orhan Veli Kanık, Hoşgör Köftecisi

“Even if you do die, I was thinking today, it's really only on the arbitrary human scale that a human life seems fort, or long, or whatever, and like, from the perspective of eternal time, the human life is vanishingly small, like it's really equivalent whether you live to be 17 or 94 or even 20,00 years old, which is obviosusly impossible, and then, on the other hand, from the perspective of an ultra-nanoinstant, which is the smallest measurable unit of time, a human life is almost infinite even if you die when you're like, a toddler. So either way it doesn't even matter how long you live. So I don't know if that makes you feel better, but it's just something to think about.”
― Jesse Andrews, Me and Earl and the Dying Girl

“So if this were a normal book about a girl with leukemia, I would probably talk a shitload about all the meaningful things Rachel had to say as she got sicker and sicker, and also probably we would fall in love and have some incredibly fulfilling romantic thing and she would die in my arms. But I don't feel like lying to you. She didn't have meaningful things to say, and we definitely didn't fall in love. She seemed less pissed with me after my stupid outburst, but she basically just went from irritable to quiet.”
― Jesse Andrews, Me and Earl and the Dying Girl

“The frost performs its secret ministry,
Unhelped by any wind.”
― Samuel Taylor Coleridge, The Complete Poems
