F. Scott Fitzgerald
“Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that's no matter--tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther.... And one fine morning-- So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.”
F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby

Daniel Keyes
“I'm living at a peak of clarity and beauty I never knew existed. Every part of me is attuned to the work. I soak it up into my pores during the day, and at night—in the moments before I pass off into sleep—ideas explode into my head like fireworks. There is no greater joy than the burst of solution to a problem. Incredible that anything could happen to take away this bubbling energy, the zest that fills everything I do. It's as if all the knowledge I've soaked in during the past months has coalesced and lifted me to a peak of light and understanding. This is beauty, love, and truth all rolled into one. This is joy.”
Daniel Keyes, Flowers for Algernon

İhsan Oktay Anar
“Bu dünyada insanların korktuğu tek şey öğrenmekti. Acıyı, susuzluğu ve üzüntüyü öğrenmek onların uykularını kaçırıyor, bu yüzden daha rahat döşeklere, daha leziz yemeklere ve daha neşeli dostlara sığınıyorlardı. Dünyaya olan kayıtsızlıkları bazen o kerteye varıyordu ki, kendilerine altın ve gümüşten, zevk ve sefadan, lezzet ve şehvetten bir alem kurup, keder ve ızdırap fikirlerinin kafalarına girmesine izin vermiyorlardı.”
İhsan Oktay Anar, Puslu Kıtalar Atlası

Orson Scott Card
“Among my most prized possessions are words that I have never spoken.”
Orson Scott Card

Daniel Keyes
“No one really starts anything new, Mrs. Nemur. Everyone builds on other men's failures. There is nothing really original in science. What each man contributes to the sum of knowledge is what counts.”
Daniel Keyes, Flowers for Algernon
