“Aranızdaki bu şey bahsi edilemeyecek kadar ürkektir. Bu öyle küçük bir kıvılcımdır ki en dikkatli nefes bile onu söndürebilir.”
Baş İsimci kafasını sağa sola salladı. “Ne kadar zeki olursanız olun, sözcükleri ne kadar iyi kullanırsanız kullanın kaybetmeye mahkûmsunuzdur. Çünkü ağızlarınız aynı dili konuşsa bile kalpleriniz konuşmaz.” Bana dikkatle baktı. “İşte bu bir tercüme meselesidir.”
Elodin bu sefer de iki parmağını birden kaldırdı. “İkinci yol daha dikkatlidir. Önemsiz şeylerden konuşursunuz. Havadan sudan. İkinizin de bildiği bir tiyatro oyunundan. Birlikte vakit geçirirsiniz. El ele tutuşursunuz. Öyle yaparak birbirinizin sözcüklerinin altında yatan gizli anlamları öğrenirsiniz. O sayede de zamanı gelince birbirinizin dilini konuşabilirsiniz ve iki taraf da söylenenleri anlayabilir.”

“Some days I hardly recognize myself in the mirror. It’s not my face that has changed; it’s the way I see the world.”
“There are some paths that inevitably lead to heartache, some acts that steal men’s souls, leaving them wandering forever after without them, trying to find what they lost”
“if the magic of history would be lost if we could go back and live it. Did we varnish the past and make heroes of average men and imagine beauty and valor where there was only dirge and desperation? Or like the old man looking back on his youth, remembering only the things he’d seen, did the angle of our gaze sometimes cause us to miss the bigger picture? I didn’t think time offered clarity so much as time stripped away the emotion that colored memories.”
“It is one thing to fight for freedom; it is another to condemn the innocent to die in your war.”
“The wind you hear is the same wind that has always blown. The rain that falls is the same rain. Over and over, round and round, like a giant circle. The wind and the waves have been present since time began. The rocks and stars too. But the rocks don’t speak, and the stars are too far away to tell us what they know.”
“…we were nothing more than two people who had passed each other while walking through their lives. Couples broke up every day, and we were not special in that regard either. You cried yourself to sleep then woke up and went to work. When you repeated the cycle enough times, one day you woke up and suddenly it didn’t matter all that much. New people walked alongside you and eventually you forgot the ones you left behind.”
“Life always moved on whether you chose to move along with it or stay put and let it happen all around you”
“…and you loved me despite myself.”
“Love to me was honesty. Being real. Knowing someone’s best and worst. Love was a push that said someone believed in you when you didn’t.”
