“What I need is the dandelion in the spring. The bright yellow that means rebirth instead of destruction. The promise that life can go on, no matter how bad our losses. That it can be good again.”
― Suzanne Collins, Mockingjay

“We do not have to romanticize our past in order to be aware of how it seeds our present. We do not have to suffer the waste of an amnesia that robs us of the lessons of the past rather than permit us to read them with pride as well as deep understanding. We know what it is to be lied to, and we know how important it is not lie to ourselves. We are powerful because we have survived, and that is what it is all about—survival and growth.”
― Audre Lorde, Sister Outsider: Essays and Speeches

“Birine aşık olunca, ömrün boyunca onu aramışsın da sonunda bulmuşsun gibi, geçmişini tekrar kurgularsın. Basit tesadüfler aşkın ilahi gücünün işareti olur çıkar. Şimdi buraya yazınca bak ne kadar gülünç olacak: Lise sonda aşık olduğum kızın ismi Zuhal'di, yirmi yıl sonra, Nihal, demek ki, tabi ya, büyük bir aşk bu, aşkın ilahi adaleti sonunda bizi buluşturdu vesaire...”
― Barış Bıçakçı, Bizim Büyük Çaresizliğimiz

“Some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again.”
