“Those who find ugly meanings in beautiful things are corrupt without being charming. This is a fault. Those who find beautiful meanings in beautiful things are the cultivated. For these there is hope. They are the elect to whom beautiful things mean only Beauty. There is no such thing as a moral or an immoral book. Books are well written, or badly written. That is all.”
― Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray

“Neden bir de rüya görürüz? Her şey olup bittikten sonra neden bir de rüya görürüz? Karmaşanın,keşmekeşin, hayatın yorucu zenginliğinin içinde eksik kalan nedir ki,uykunun kuytusunda ille de tamamlanması gerekir?Rüyamızda,biririyle ilgisiz gibi görünen ayrıntıları bilincimiz önden gürültülü bir lokomotif gibi çekip bir yere, örneğin bir anlama mı götürür?Yoksa o ayrıntılar bilincimizin balonuna batan iğneler midir?”
― Barış Bıçakçı, Bizim Büyük Çaresizliğimiz

“There is more in you of good than you know, child of the kindly West. Some courage and some wisdom, blended in measure. If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Hobbit, or There and Back Again

“Under the spreading chestnut tree I sold you and you sold me:
There lie they, and here lie we
Under the spreading chestnut tree.”
― George Orwell, 1984
