Oruç Aruoba
“Sana kendimden bir şey getirmiştim.
Bir yerde oturuyorduk, konuşarak. Nasıl olduysa, garsonlar masayı toplarken, getirdiğimi de alıp kaldırmışlar. Çıktık. Bir araca tam bindik ki, senin aklına geldi - çantana bir baktın, ve hemen, "İniyoruz" dedin. İndik. Geri gidip bulup aldık sana getirdiğimi; araç sırasına geri döndük.
O, kesin, "İniyoruz" demen, belirleyiciydi - içime ışık dolmuştu, sen bunu söyleyince-
Her şeyi, apaçık, ortaya koyuyordu:-
Önem veriyordun - benim olan; benden sana gelen, önemliydi senin için- kararlıydın:-
En temelidir bu, ilişkinin: önem vermekte kararlı olmak.
Bunun önemi de, hiçbir öndüşünce taşımamasında : öyle, kendiliğinden, oluşuvermesinde; sanki, hiç düşünülmeden, hesaplanmadan, amaçlanmadan, yapılıvermesinde.
İlişkinin kendisi gibi...”

Susan Sontag
“The ideal or the dream would be to arrive at a language that heals as much as it separates.”
Susan Sontag, Against Interpretation and Other Essays

Elif Batuman
“Most people, the minute they meet you, were sizing you up for some competition for resources. It was as if everyone lived in fear of a shipwreck, where only so many people would fit on the lifeboat, and they were constantly trying to stake out their property and identify dispensable people – people they could get rid of.... Everyone is trying to reassure themselves: I'm not going to get kicked off the boat, they are. They're always separating people into two groups, allies and dispensable people... The number of people who want to understand what you're like instead of trying to figure out whether you get to stay on the boat - it's really limited.”
Elif Batuman, The Idiot

Susan Sontag
“Opinions are like some kind of crust that grows on top of things and you want to kind of peel them off.”
Susan Sontag

Susan Sontag
“My library is an archive of longings.”
Susan Sontag, As Consciousness is Harnessed to Flesh: Journals and Notebooks, 1964-1980
