“The only way that we can live, is if we grow. The only way that we can grow is if we change. The only way that we can change is if we learn. The only way we can learn is if we are exposed. And the only way that we can become exposed is if we throw ourselves out into the open. Do it. Throw yourself.”
― C. JoyBell C.

“It can be difficult to leave a long-term relationship, even when our inner-wisdom tells us it's time to let go. At this point, we can choose let go and endure the intense pain of leaving behind the familiar to make way for a new chapter in our life. Or we can stay and suffer a low-grade pain that slowly eats away at our heart and soul, like an emotional cancer. Until we wake up, one day and realize, we are buried so deep in the dysfunction of the relationship that we scarcely remember who we were and what we wanted and needed to be.”
― Jaeda DeWalt

“Ben sensizliği yalnızlık sanmıştım her keresinde.
Yüzün gelirdi bir yerlerden bir ülke ,
Kokun gelirdi bir bahar
ve gülüşün gelirdi de bir düş gibi ,
ille de kendini kendine vurmuşluğun gelirdi gelirdi de ;
ben hep şarkı sanırdım gökyüzünü
kim bilir kimin söylediği .
Issız teknelerle kıyılarıma koşardım hemen ,
bakardım (bakmak uzanmaktır);
atlaslar yırtılırdı düşümün bir ucunda ,
bir ucunda ben;
ve suların unuttuğu yunus hıçkırıkları vururdu alnıma,
dudaklarımdan tuz kervanları yürürdü.
Kervanlar ki birer seraptır harami günlüğünde”
― Hasan Ali Toptaş, Yalnızlıklar

“You couldn't relive your life, skipping the awful parts, without losing what made it worthwhile. You had to accept it as a whole--like the world, or the person you loved.”
― Stewart O'Nan, The Odds: A Love Story

“Yeni sözler, yeni yaşantılar bulacağımı sanıyordum. Bu acılar, yüreğimi paslandırmış oysa. Sevmek zor geliyor. Alışmamışım yoruluyorum. Her an sevdiğimi düşünemiyorum. Bazen atlıyorum. Boşluklar oluyor. Bunları boş sözlerle doldurmaya çalışıyorum. Oysa ben her an sana bakmak, bir sözünü kaçırmamak; bir kıpırdanışını, yüzünün her an değişen bütün gölgelerini izlemek, her an yeni sözler bulup söylemek istiyorum. Her mevsimde, her gittiğimiz yerde, insanlarla ve insanlarsız, aşkın değişen yansımalarını görmek istiyorum. Bütün bunlar beni yoruyor. Sen orada duruyorsun ve beni seyrediyorsun sadece. Senin için sevmek su içmek kadar rahat bir eylem. Ben, her an uyanık olmalıyım.”
― Oğuz Atay, Tutunamayanlar

“Yes, I decided, a man can truly change. The events of the past year have taught me much about myself, and a few universal truths. I learned, for instance, that while wounds can be inflicted easily upon those we love, it's often much more difficult to heal them. Yet the process of healing those wounds provided the richest experience of my life, leading me to believe that while I've often overestimated what I could accomplish in a day, I had underestimated what I could do in a year. But most of all, I learned that it's possible for two people to fall in love all over again, even when there's been a lifetime of disappointment between them.”
― Nicholas Sparks, The Wedding

Noah: "Well, we'll make some... Bum bum bum bum bum bum..."
Allie: "You're a terrible singer."
Noah: "I know."
Allie: "And I like this song.”
― Nicholas Sparks, The Notebook

“To ‘let go’ sometimes makes us feel like losers because it means giving up what truly we felt we had a right to. But true strength lies in resisting the urge to hold onto things and people that bring us down.”

“Heart, we will forget him!
You and I, to-night!
You may forget the warmth he gave,
I will forget the light.

When you have done, pray tell me,
That I my thoughts may dim;
Haste! lest while you’re lagging,
I may remember him!”
― Emily Dickinson, The Complete Poems of Emily Dickinson

“Do you think I am an automaton? — a machine without feelings? and can bear to have my morsel of bread snatched from my lips, and my drop of living water dashed from my cup? Do you think, because I am poor, obscure, plain, and little, I am soulless and heartless? You think wrong! — I have as much soul as you — and full as much heart! And if God had gifted me with some beauty and much wealth, I should have made it as hard for you to leave me, as it is now for me to leave you. I am not talking to you now through the medium of custom, conventionalities, nor even of mortal flesh: it is my spirit that addresses your spirit; just as if both had passed through the grave, and we stood at God's feet, equal — as we are!”
― Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre

“Burası bizim değil, bizi öldürmek isteyenlerin ülkesi.”

“. . . according to Lem's Law, 'No one reads; if someone does read, he doesn't understand; if he understands, he immediately forgets' -- owing to general lack of time, the oversupply of books, and the perfection of advertising.”
― Stanislaw Lem

“Bertrand Russell wrote that ‘To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three-parts dead’. Maybe that was her problem. Maybe she was just scared of living. But Bertrand Russell had more marriages and affairs than hot dinners, so perhaps he was no one to give advice.”
― Matt Haig, The Midnight Library
