“Look at that! The entire Australian kit dates from the 1940s and the uniforms are falling apart at the seams, the fucking boots you have issued to us are the same and everything is rotten. As for bloody weapons, we are issued with the Owen sub-machine gun. While the gun is still a very good weapon, the 9mm ammunition it uses is old WW2 stock and its propellants have deteriorated to the point where I doubt if the round will penetrate the back-pack of a fleeing Noggie!”
― Michael G. Kramer, A Gracious Enemy

“Eroinden söz ederken kendimi şaşırtıcı ölçüde iyi, sakin ve berrak hissediyordum.
"Tam olarak bilmiyorum, Tom, bilmiyorum. Bi şekilde her şeyi daha gerçekçi kılıyor. Hayat sıkıcı ve anlamsız. Büyük umutlarla başlıyoruz, sonra çuvallıyoruz. Hepimiz bi gün büyük sorulara cevap bulmadan öleceğimizi keşfederiz. Hayatımızın gerçeğini farklı biçimlerde yorumlayacak dolambaçlı düşünceler geliştiririz, bedenimizle büyük şeylere, gerçek şeylere dair kayda değer bi bilgiye uzanmaksızın. Aslında, kısa ve hayal kırıklıklarıyla dolu bi hayat yaşar, sonra da ölürüz. Kendimizi her şeyin tamamen anlamdan yoksun olmadığına inandırmak için hayatlarımızı bokla doldururuz; kariyerle, ilişkiyle falan. Eroin dürüst bir uyuşturucudur, çünkü bu yanılsamaları sıyırıp atar. Eroin çaktığında iyiysen, kendini ölümsüz hissedersin. Kötüysen zaten var olan sıkıntıyı artırır. Tek dürüst uyuşturucudur. Bilincini değiştirmez. Bi anda çarpar ve gevşetir. Ondan sonra dünyanın sefaletini olduğu gibi görür, kendini buna karşı duyarsızlaştıramazsın.”
― Irvine Welsh, Trainspotting

― Yvonne Korshak, Pericles and Aspasia: A Story of Ancient Greece

“And in that vast emptiness, two heads bobbed above the surface without a sound, just one hundred feet from them.”

“I'm more concerned, just as you used to be, with the world as a riddle than with the riddles in the world. I'm more concerned with natural than the supernatural. And I feel more wonder for our inscrutable brain than for all these loose anecdots about the 'extrasensory'.”
― Jostein Gaarder, The Castle in the Pyrenees

“Rue, who when you ask her what she loves most in the world, replies, of all things, “Music.”
― Suzanne Collins, The Hunger Games

“Yet across the gulf of space, minds that are to our minds as ours are to those of the beasts that perish, intellects vast and cool and unsympathetic, regarded this earth with envious eyes, and slowly and surely drew their plans against us.”

“If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;

If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;”
