“Vakt-i, istibdatta söz söylemek memnu idi;
Ağlatırdı ağzını açsan hükümet ananı!
Devr-i hürriyetdeyiz şimdi, değişti kaide.
Söyletirler evvela, sonra si***ler ananı!”
― Şair Eşref

“But I am I, and I won't subordinate my taste to the unanimous judgment of mankind. If I don't like a thing, I don't like it, that's all; and there is no reason under the sun why I should ape a liking for it just because the majority of my fellow-creatures like it, or make believe they like it. I can't follow the fashions in the things I like or dislike.”
― Jack London, Martin Eden

“Even if we have bad feelings about our past and it causes a sense of alienation, it belongs to our history. Its benchmarks are stored in the granary of our mind and crucial evaluations for the future cannot be made without consulting the archive of our memory. ( “Not without the past”)”
― Erik Pevernagie

“A world that can be explained even with bad reasons is a familiar world. But, on the other hand, in a universe suddenly divested of illusions and lights, man feels an alien, a stranger. His exile is without remedy since he is deprived of the memory of a lost home or the hope of a promised land.”
― Albert Camus, The Myth of Sisyphus
