And the most beautiful words ever spoken, I have not yet said to you.

I’d thought that it was life itself that had ground me down – that my sadness stemmed from spiritual malaise. After spending two hours with a book, and finding it more pleasurable than two years of real life, I’d remember again that life had no meaning, and sink back into despair.

All my life, I’d shied away from human company, never sharing my thoughts with a soul. How pointless this seemed now, and how absurd!

Some things we never know we need until we find them. And now, when I looked back on my life, it seemed empty and idle, if only because she’d not been in it.

the point of losing something precious - be it happiness of material wealth - can be forgotten over time. but our missed opportunities never leave us, and every time they come back to haunt us, we ache. or perhaps what haunts us is that nagging thought that things might have turned out differently. because without the thought, we would put it down to fate and accept it.

I were to spend the rest of my life in supplication, seeking forgiveness for having murdered her memory. For the greatest betrayal, the greatest sin we can commit against the blameless is to abandon a loving heart.

Hayat birbirinde ayırdıklarını, kısa bir müddet için tekrar yaklaştırır gibi olsa bile, uzun zaman yan yana bırakmıyor. Geçen günleri bir daha geri getirmek mümkün değil ve sadece hatıralar iki insanı birbirine bağlayacak kadar kuvvetli değil.

İnsanlar birbirlerini ne kadar iyi anlıyorlardı... Bir de ben bu halimle kalkıp başka bir insanın kafasının içini tahlil etmek, onun düz veya karışık ruhunu görmek istiyordum. Dünyanın en basit, en zavallı, hatta en ahmak adamı bile, insanı hayrete düşürecek ne müthiş ve karışık bir ruha maliktir!.. Niçin bunu anlamaktan bu kadar kaçıyor ve insan dedikleri mahluku anlaşılması ve hakkında hüküm verilmesi en kolay şeylerden biri zannediyoruz? Niçin ilk defa gördüğümüz bir peynirin esvafı hakkında söz söylemekten kaçtığımız halde ilk rast geldiğimiz insan hakkında son kararımızı verip gönül rahatıyla öteye geçiveriyoruz?

Benim beklediğim aşk başka! O, bütün mantıkların dışında, tarifi imkansız ve mahiyeti bilinmeyen bir şey. Sevmek ve hoşlanmak başka, istemek bütün ruhuyla, bütün vücuduyla, her şeyiyle istemek başka… Aşk bence bu istemektir. Mukavemet edilemez bir istemek!

İnsanların en zayıf tarafları, sormadan, araştırmadan, düşünmeden, kafalarını patlatmadan inanmak hususundaki hayret verici temayülleridir.

Demek hayat böyle iki adım ilerisi bile görülmeyen sisli ve yalpalı bir denizdi. Tesadüflerin oyuncağı olacak olduktan sonra ne diye bir irademiz vardı? Kullanamadıktan sonra göğsümüzü doldurn hisler ve kafamızda kımıldayan düşünceler neye yarardı?

There is a certain part of all of us that lives outside of time. Perhaps we become aware of our age only at exceptional moments and most of the time we are ageless.

People are always shouting they want to create a better future. It's not true. The future is an apathetic void of no interest to anyone. The past is full of life, eager to irritate us, provoke and insult us, tempt us to destroy or repaint it. The only reason people want to be masters of the future is to change the past.

The man hunched over his motorcycle can focus only on the present... he is caught in a fragment of time cut off from both the past and the future... he has no fear, because the source of fear is in the future, and a person freed of the future has nothing to fear.

The first step in liquidating a people is to erase its memory. Destroy its books, its culture, its history. Then have somebody write new books, manufacture a new culture, invent a new history. Before long that nation will begin to forget what it is and what it was... The struggle of man against power is the struggle of memory against forgetting.
