“Schoolmaster: Now, my boy, can you tell me how much two times two is? ...
Officer: Two... times two... Let me see! That makes two two!
Schoolmaster: Well, well... somebody hasn't done his homework!
Officer: (ashamed) Yes, I have, but... I know what it is, but I can't say it...
Schoolmaster: You're trying to get out of it! You know, but you can't say. Perhaps I can help you! (He pulls the Officer's hair)
Officer: Oh, this is dreadful, really dreadful!
Schoolmaster: Yes, dreadful, that's precisely what it is when a big boy like you has no ambition.
Officer: Yes, that's right, one must mature... Two times two... is two, and I can prove it by analogy, the highest form of proof. Listen, now! ... One times one is one, so two times two must be two! For what applies to one must apply the other!
Schoolmaster: This proof accords perfectly with the laws of logic, but the answer is wrong.”

“I once asked a little boy why the sea was salt, and the boy, whose father was away on a long journey, said right away, "The sea is salt because the sailors cry so much." "But why do the sailors cry so much?" I asked. "Because," he said, "they always have to go away from home- and that's why they're always drying their handkerchiefs up on the masthead!" And then I asked him, "But why do people cry when they're sad?" And he said, "That's because they have to wash the glasses of their eyes so they can see better.”
― August Strindberg, A Dream Play

“Kendisi İngilizce bilmediği gibi, Türkçe de bilmiyor. Bir kitabında "imam ikindi namazı saatinde cami balkonuna çıkarak ezan okudu" yazıyor. Bir kere namaz saati olmaz, vakti olur. Cami balkonu yoktur, minare şerefesi vardır. Ezanı da imam değil müezzin okur. Bu örnekle de sabittir ki yaşadığı bir toplumun kültüründen haberi olmayan bir yazar, Nobel de alsa doğru eserler ortaya koymaz." - Orhan Pamuk hakkında”
― İlber Ortaylı
