''Benim burada ne işim var?'' diye düşündüğünüz oldu mu hiç? Bir labirentin içindeymişsiniz ve kaybolduğunuzdan eminmişsiniz de, her bir dönemeci kendiniz yarattığınız için bu tamamıyla sizin suçunuzmuş gibi hissettiğiniz? Üstelik dışarı çıkmanızı sağlayacak birçok yol olduğunu da biliyorsunuz çünkü labirentten çıkmayı başarmış, dışarıda gülüşüp oynayan insanların seslerini duyuyorsunuz. Çalı çitlerin arasından arada bir görüyorsunuz onları. Yaprakların arasından gelip geçen şekiller halinde. Öyle mutlu görünüyorlar ki onlara değil, bu işi onlar gibi yapamadığınız için kendinize kızgınsınız. Oldu mu hiç? Yoksa bu labirentte kalan bir tek ben miyim?
Not: Kedim öldü de.

İçimizdeki Şeytan
''Hiçbir şey istemiyorum. Hiçbir şey bana cazip görünmüyor. Günden güne miskinleştiğimi hissediyorum ve bundan memnunum. Belki bir müddet sonra can sıkıntısı bile hissedemeyecek kadar büyük bir gevşekliğe düşeceğim.''
''Mesela herhangi bir iç sıkıntısı seni boğar. Hayat sana karanlık, manasız gelir. İnsan, biraz
The Sorrows of Young Werther
“Sometimes I don't understand how another can love her, is allowed to love her, since I love her so completely myself, so intensely, so fully, grasp nothing, know nothing, have nothing but her!”
“Is this the destiny of man? Is he only happy before he has acquired his reason or after he has lost it?”
“What a torment it is to see so much loveliness passing and repassing before us, and yet not dare to lay hold of it!”
“Every day I observe more and more the folly of judging of others by ourselves; and I have so much trouble with myself, and my own heart is in such constant agitation, that I am well content to let others pursue their own course, if they only allow me the same privilege.”
“In happy ignorance, I sighed for a world I did not know, where I hoped to find every pleasure and enjoyment which my heart could desire; and now, on my return from that wide world... how many disappointed hopes and unsuccessful plans have I brought back!”
“Must it ever be thus-that the source of our happiness must also be the fountain of our misery? The full and ardent sentiment which animated my heart with the love of nature, overwhelming me with a torrent of delight, and which brought all paradise before me, has now become an insupportable torment, a demon which perpetually pursues and harrasses me.”
Dead Poets Society
“We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for. To quote from Whitman, "O me! O life!... of the questions of these recurring; of the endless trains of the faithless... of cities filled with the foolish; what good amid these, O me, O life?" Answer. That you are here - that life exists, and identity; that the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse. That the powerful play *goes on* and you may contribute a verse. What will your verse be?”
“When you read, don't just consider what the author thinks, consider what you think”
“If you listen real close, you can hear them whisper their legacy to you. Go on, lean in. Listen, you hear it? - Carpe - hear it? – Carpe, Carpe Diem, seize the day boys, make your lives extraordinary.”
“And medecine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love: these are what we stay alive for.” (less)
