“I used to think there was such a thing as emptiness, that there were places in the world one could go and be alone. This, I think, is still true, but the error in my reasoning was to assume that alone was somewhere you could go, rather than somewhere you had to be left.”
― Julia Armfield, Our Wives Under the Sea

“Not to be born at all
Is best, far best that can befall,
Next best, when born, with least delay
To trace the backward way.
For when youth passes with its giddy train,
Troubles on troubles follow, toils on toils,
Pain, pain forever pain;
And none escapes life's coils.
Envy, sedition, strife,
Carnage and war, make up the tale of life.”
― Sophocles, Oedipus at Colonus

“Gün gelir sürekli hareket etmenin anlamsızlığını kavrarsınız. Nereye giderseniz gidin kendinizi de yanınızda götürdüğünüzü bilirsiniz.”
― Stephen King, Doctor Sleep

“The eyes of others our prisons; their thoughts our cages.”
― Virginia Woolf
