Zor bir hayat, zor bir dile ihtiyaç duyar ve şiir de budur. Edebiyatın sunduğu şey budur - nasıl olduğunu söyleyecek kadar güçlü bir dil. Saklanacak bir yer değildir.Bir buluş yeridir.

Carl Jung and the Shadow (Jack E. Othon)
(...) Have you ever said or done something really shitty, mostly on an impulse, that you later regretted? After the damage was done and the other person involved was hurt, you couldn’t bury your shame fast enough. “Why did I say that?” you might have asked yourself in frustration. It’s that “Why?” question that indicates the presence of a blind

There I am, leaving her body, leaving the only thing I know, and repeating the leaving again and again until it is my own body I am trying to leave, the last escape I can make. But there was forgiveness. Here I am. Not leaving any more. Home.

“I loved God of course, in the early days,and God loved me. That was something.And I loved animals and nature. And poetry. People were problem. How do you love another person? How do you trust another person to love you? I had no idea. I thought that love was loss. “ “İlk günlerde Tanrı’yı sevdim elbette. Tanrı da beni sevdi. Eh, bu da bir şeydi.

Sevmenin kaybetmek olduğunu düşünüyordum. “
My mother, Mrs Winterson, didn’t love life. She didn’t believe that anything would make life better. She once told me that the universe is a cosmic dustbin – and after I had thought about this for a bit, I asked her if the lid was on or off. ‘On,’ she said. ‘Nobody escapes.’
All she ever wanted was for everyone to go away. And when I did she never forgave me.

Despite the humour and the occasional glimmer of hope, there were times when I found this book almost too hard to read.

I did not realize that when money becomes a core value, then education drives towards utility or that the life of the mind will not be counted as good unless it produces measurable results. That public services will no longer be important. That an alternative life to getting and spending will become very difficult as cheap housing disappears. That when communities are destroyed only misery and intolerance are left
It took me a long time to realise that there are two kinds of writing: the one you write and the one that writes you. The one that writes you is dangerous. You go where you don’t want to go. You look where you don’t want to look.
Creativity is on the side of health - it isn't the thing that drives us mad; it is the capacity in us that tries to save us from madness
Sometimes you have to live in precarious and temporary places. Unsuitable places. Wrong places. Sometimes the safe place won't help you.
A tough life needs a tough language—and that is what poetry is. That is what literature offers—a language powerful enough to say how it is.
