Ingmar Bergman
"I understand, all right. The hopeless dream of being - not seeming, but being. At every waking moment, alert. The gulf between what you are with others and what you are alone. The vertigo and the constant hunger to be exposed, to be seen through, perhaps even wiped out. Every inflection and every gesture a lie, every smile a grimace.

Kitabın diğer incelemelerini incelerken çoğu okurun eserden "Çocuk kitabı" diye bahsettiğini gördüm ve 
Çizgili Pijamalı Çocuk ile benzer bir karışıklılığa girdiğini fark ettim. Maalesef günümüzde eserlerin baş kahramanları çocuk olunca hemen çocuk kitabı etiketi yapıştırılıyor içeriği göz önünde bulundurulmadan. Çizgili Pijamalı Çocuk 'da olduğu gibi travmatik
Ay ağlayacağım şimdi...
I had nightmares sometimes, where I’d dream that nothing over the past year had happened, and I was still in that L.A. apartment…all alone.
Walker was always there though, waking me up and reminding me that I’d never be alone again, because he owned me body and soul.
If this was a dream, it was one that I never wanted to wake up from.
I would have gone through a million years of misery as long as I ended up with him.
I thought about fate alot, about how the tides could turn and change…about how one moment, one decision…could change your whole life…
Like what had happened when I’d gone to Maddie’s wedding…and I’d left with…the pucking wrong date.

As difficult as it may seem, you ve got to be honest with yourself about this whole process. Change can often be difficult and it will probably seem easier to just stick with what you're allready doing. That thinking can be dangerous. You're only kicking the can down the road and you risk waking up one day, years later, looking into mirror, asking yourself " What am i doing with my life ? "

1. Don't worry
"The secret to a long life is not to worry. And to keep your heart young-don't let it grow old. Open your heart to people with a nice smile on your face. If you smile and open your heart, your grandchildren and everyone else will want to see you."
"The best way to avoid anxiety is to go out in the street
“He found himself understanding the wearisomeness of this life, where every path was an improvisation and a considerable part of one's waking life was spent watching one's feet.”
It's weird how your whole life can completely change in the hours between waking up and going to bed
Sayfa 10
‘’In visions of the dark night
I have dreamed of joy departed-
But a waking dream of life and light
Hath left me broken-hearted
Ah! what is not a dream by day
To him whose eyes are cast
On things around him with a ray
Turned back upon the past?
That holy dream-that holy dream,
While all the world were chiding,
Hath cheered me as a lovely beam,
A lonely spirit guiding.
What a though that light, thro’ storm and night,
So trembled from afar-
What could there be more purely bright
In Truth’s day star?’’
more of our waking life than we should care to admit, even to ourselves, is likely to be whiled away in this inconsequential trifling with idle fancy and unsubstantial hope.

“Korkarım ki hayatı gerçek bir tutkuyla yaşama erdemini, kim olduğumuzun sorumluluğunu yüklenmenin anlamını, kendimize dair bir şeyler yapma ve hayattan doyum sağlama yeteneğimizi kaybediyoruz.”
