“My father used to say that one of the great offences of sham
politeness was the neglect of promises. When anything is demanded
of you that you cannot do, refuse positively and leave no
loopholes for false hopes; on the other hand, grant at once
whatever you are willing to bestow.”
― Honoré de Balzac, The Lily of the Valley: Romance Novel

“the measure of a person’s disposition is this: how far is he from what he understands to what he does, how great is the distance between his understanding and his actions.”

“Freedom is the ultimate concern most central to many existential thinkers. In my understanding, it refers to the idea that, since we all live in a universe without inherent design, we must be the authors of our own lives, choices, and actions. Such freedom generates so much anxiety that many of us embrace gods or dictators to remove the burden. If we are, in Sartre’s terms, “the uncontested author” of everything that we have experienced, then our most cherished ideas, our most noble truths, the very bedrock of our convictions, are all undermined by the awareness that everything in the universe is contingent.”
― Irvin D. Yalom, Becoming Myself: A Psychiatrist's Memoir

“Gariptir ki Nuri Bey hiç kitap hediye etmezdi. Belki de, fikrin mesuliyetini üzerine almaktan çekinecek kadar derin düşünceliydi.”

“Y sin darle tiempo al pánico se liberó de la materia turbia que le impedía vivir. Le confesó que no tenía un instante sin pensar en ella, que cuanto comía y bebía tenía el sabor a ella, que la vida era ella a toda hora y en todas partes, como sólo Dios tenía el derecho y el poder de serlo, y que el gozo supremo de su corazón sería morirse con ella. Siguió hablándole sin mirarla, con la misma fluidez y el calor con que recitaba, hasta que tuvo la impresión de que Sierva María se había dormido. Pero estaba despierta, fijos en él sus ojos de cierva azorada. Apenas se atrevió a preguntar:
"¿Y ahora?"
"Ahora nada", dijo él. "Me basta con que lo sepas.”
― Gabriel García Márquez, Del amor y otros demonios
