“Everything was so fine. It felt as if I had just been born. This life that I was living now, it was like diving into an ocean when all I had known was a swimming pool. There were no storms in a swimming pool. Storms, they were born in the oceans of the world.”
“Hatta yaşamdan öylesine kopuğuz ki, gerçek “canlı hayata” karşı adeta tiksinti duyuyor, bize hatırlatılmasına dahi katlanamıyoruz. Öyle bir hale gelmişiz ki, gerçek “canlı hayat” bize adeta bir iş, bir ödev gibi görünüyor, onu kitaptan öğrenmeyi yeğliyoruz.”
