“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

“This is the best reason to learn history: not in order to predict the future, but to free yourself of the past and imagine alternative destinies. Of course this is not total freedom – we cannot avoid being shaped by the past. But some freedom is better than none.”
― Yuval Noah Harari, Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow

“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

“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
