Sabahattin Ali
“Kalabalık beni sahiden sıktı. Ben ikide birde böyle oluyorum, bazen bütün insanları boyunlarına sarılıp öpecek kadar seviyorum, bazen de hiçbirinin yüzünü görmek istemiyorum. Bu nefret filan değil… İnsanlardan nefret etmeyi düşünmedim bile… Sadece bir yalnızlık ihtiyacı. Öyle günlerim oluyor ki, etrafımdan küçük bir hareket, en hafif bir ses bile istemiyorum. Fakat sonra birdenbire etrafımda bana yakın birilerini arıyorum. Bütün bu beynimde geçenleri teker teker, uzun uzun anlatacak birini. O zaman nasıl hazin bir hal aldığımı tasvir edemezsiniz. Kış günü sokağa atılmış bir kedi gibi kendimi zavallı hissediyorum.”
Sabahattin Ali, İçimizdeki Şeytan

John Knowles
“All of them, all except Phineas, constructed at infinite cost to themselves these Maginot Lines against this enemy they thought they saw across the frontier, this enemy who never attacked that way—if he ever attacked at all; if he was indeed the enemy.”
John Knowles

Patricia Highsmith
“My New Year’s Eve Toast: to all the devils, lusts, passions, greeds, envies, loves, hates, strange desires, enemies ghostly and real, the army of memories, with which I do battle — may they never give me peace.”
Patricia Highsmith

F. Scott Fitzgerald
“Let me tell you about the very rich. They are different from you and me. They possess and enjoy early, and it does something to them, makes them soft where we are hard, and cynical where we are trustful, in a way that, unless you were born rich, it is very difficult to understand. They think, deep in their hearts, that they are better than we are because we had to discover the compensations and refuges of life for ourselves. Even when they enter deep into our world or sink below us, they still think that they are better than we
are. They are different. ”
F. Scott Fitzgerald

Ryan Holiday
“From Rusticus … I learned to read carefully and not be satisfied with a rough understanding of the whole, and not to agree too quickly with those who have a lot to say about something.” —MARCUS AURELIUS, MEDITATIONS, 1.7.3”
Ryan Holiday, The Daily Stoic
