“Never be afraid to raise your voice for honesty and truth and compassion against injustice and lying and greed. If people all over the world...would do this, it would change the earth.”
― William Faulkner

“Read, read, read. Read everything -- trash, classics, good and bad, and see how they do it. Just like a carpenter who works as an apprentice and studies the master. Read! You'll absorb it.
Then write. If it's good, you'll find out. If it's not, throw it out of the window.”
― William Faulkner

“Yet I liked him too much… way too much, and I ripped him out of my heart so it wouldn’t get to hurt me more than it did. Oh, he’s magnetic, he’s charming; you could fall into his eyes. Let’s face it: his sex appeal was unbearably strong. I wanted to know him—- the thoughts, the ideas behind the handsome, confident, wisecracking mask… then the friction increased, centered. His nearness was electric in itself. ‘Can’t you see,’ he said. ‘I want to kiss you.’ So he kissed me, hungrily, his eyes shut, his hand warm, curved burning into my stomach. ‘I wish I hated you,’ I said”
― Sylvia Plath

“Ağladığını hissettirmemek çok zordur. Gözlerinden yaş akar, burnunu çekmemek için ağzından soluk alırsın. Verdiğin sıcak soluk yüzünü sızlatırken, aldığın soğuk soluk boğazından geçer, kalbine iner. Omuzlarının titrediği hissedilmesin diye kaskatı kesilirsin. Ağladığını duyurmamak çok yorar insanı..”
― Ayfer Tunç, Suzan Defter
