Emily Dickinson
“Love's stricken "why"
Is all that love can speak—
Built of but just a syllable,
The hugest hearts that break.”
Emily Dickinson

Plato
“Any one who has common sense will remember that the bewilderments of the eyes are of two kinds, and arise from two causes, either from coming out of the light or from going into the light, which is true of the mind’s eye, quite as much as of the bodily eye; and he who remembers this when he sees any one whose vision is perplexed and weak, will not be too ready to laugh; he will first ask whether that soul of man has come out of the brighter life, and is unable to see because unaccustomed to the dark, or having turned from darkness to the day is dazzled by excess of light. And he will count the one happy in his condition and state of being, and he will pity the other; or, if he have a mind to laugh at the soul which comes from below into the light, there will be more reason in this than in the laugh which greets him who returns from above out of the light into the den.”
Plato, Republic

Evelio Rosero
“Yıllar önce evlerini terk etmek zorunda kalan başka köylerin sakinleri bizim köyümüzden geçerlerdi; erkekler, kadınlar ve çocuklardan oluşan, başı sonu görünmeyen kafileler... Aç biilaç meçhule giden sessiz kalabalıklar halinde geçişlerini seyrederdik. Yıllar önce üç bin yerli uzun süre San Jose'de konakladı ve derme çatma sığınma merkezlerinde yiyecek sıkıntısı baş gösterince gitmek zorunda kaldılar. Şimdi sıra bize geldi.”
Evelio Rosero, The Armies

Alessandro Baricco
“Ama olmadı işte, çoğu kez beklenen olmaz. Ekilir, biçilir ama iki şey arasında çoğunlukla bir bağlantı yoktur. Olduğunu öğretirler sana ama... bilmem, ben hiç görmedim. Zaman olur ekersin, zaman olur biçersin, o kadar... İşte bunun için bilgelik gereksiz bir kural, hüzün doğru olmayan bir duygudur, her zaman. O gün özenle ektik, hayal, çılgınlık ve yetenek ektik. Ne biçtik, belirsiz bir meyve: bizi her zaman güzel ve gizemli kılacak bir anının güzel ışığını ve bir duygulanmanın ayrıcalığını.”
Alessandro Baricco, Smith & Wesson

James Tiptree Jr.
“When Dave understood that they had no concept of prayer and had never seen a Christian Bible there had been a heavy silence.

''So you have lost all faith'', he said finally.

''We have faith'', Judy Paris protested.

''May I ask in what?''

''We have faith in ourselves, of course'', she told him.”
James Tiptree Jr., Houston, Houston, Do You Read?
