“Öndeyiş

Bedenim üşür, yüreğim sızlar.
Ah kavaklar, kavaklar...

Beni hoyrat bir makasla
Eski bir fotoğraftan oydular.

Orda kaldı yanağımın yarısı,
Kendini boşlukla tamamlar.

Omuzumda bir kesik el,
Ki durmadan kanar.

Ah kavaklar, kavaklar...
Acı düştü peşime ardımdan ıslık çalar.”
― Metin Altıok, Bir Acıya Kiracı - Bütün Şiirleri

“Hiç unutmam, hiç unutmam, hiç unutmam
diyor birisi yineliyorum
hiç unutmam, hiç unutmam, hiç unutmam, hiç unutmayın
insan nasıl direnir başka
hiç unutma”
― Turgut Uyar

“Emperor's Soul pg 123:

"Attempts to Forge the window to a better version of itself had repeatedly failed; each time, after five minutes or so, the window had reverted to its cracked, gap-sided self.

Then Shai had found a bit of colored glass rammed into one side of the frame. The window, she realized, had once been a stained glass piece, like many in the palace. It had been broken, and whatever had shattered the window had also bent the frame, producing those gaps that let in the frigid breeze.

Rather than repairing it as it had been meant to be, someone had put ordinary glass into the window and left it to crack. A stamp from Shai in the bottom right corner had stored the window, rewriting its history so that a caring master craftsman had discovered the fallen window and remade it. That seal had taken immediately. Even after ll this time, the window had seen itself as something beautiful.”
