“One of the first signs of the beginning of understanding is the wish to die. This life appears unbearable, another unattainable. One is no longer ashamed of wanting to die; one asks to be moved from the old cell, which one hates, to a new one, which one willl only in time come to hate. In this there is also a residue of belief that during the move the master will chance to come along the corridor, look at the prisoner and say: "This man is not to be locked up again, He is to come with me.”
― Franz Kafka, The Blue Octavo Notebooks

“Fear prophets, Adso, and those prepared to die for the truth, for as a rule they make many others die with them, often before them, at times instead of them.”
― Umberto Eco, The Name of the Rose

“Lo que mas separa a las personas es, sin duda, que unos vivan en el pasado y otros en el presente.”
― André Maurois, Climats

“Çok güzel anlar hüzünlüdür her zaman. Geçici olduklarını duyar insan, durdurmak ister, bir şey gelmez elinden. Çocukken hep sirkte duyardım bunu, daha sonra da konserde, çok mutlu olduğum zaman. "İki saate kadar bitecek," derdim içimden.”
― André Maurois, Climats
