“Sırça fanusun içinde ölü bir bebek gibi tıkanıp kalmış biri için dünyanın kendisi kötü bir düştür. Bir gün bir yerde -okulda, Avrupa'da, herhangi bir yerde- o boğucu çarpıtmalarıyla sırça fanusun yeniden üzerime inmeyeceğini nasıl bilebilirdim?”
― Sylvia Plath, Sırça Fanus

“Bilmek hayatta kalmaktir. [...] Unutmayin, ne kadar cok sey bilirseniz yasama sansiniz artar. Hem sonra ogrenmeyi bir sanat, bir yasama bicimi haline getirmeniz gerekir, bunun sirriysa, ogrenmenin ayni zamanda bir haz, bir zevk oldugunu anlamaktan gecer. Ogrenmenin hazzi olmadan insan tamamlanamaz. Bakin cevrenizdeki bircok insanin yarim kalmasi bu yuzdendir." - Moottah”

“Never show anger at slight, tell nothing. Earn respect from everyone by deeds, not Words. Respect the members of your Blood Family. Gambling was Recreation, not a way to earn a Living. Love your Father, your Mother,
your Sister but beware of Loving any other Woman than your Wife. And a Wife was a woman who bore your Children. And once that happened to You, your Life was Forfeit to give them their daily bread”
― Mario Puzo, The Last Don
