Quote by Aslı Erdoğan

“Sonuçta insanlara pazarlayabileceğim birkaç özelliği, birkaç kurumsal başarıyı, gene kağıt peçeteler gibi diyeceğim, üst üste koymuştum. Oysa gerçekte ben, bunalımdan bir türlü kurtulamayan, hiçbir düşünceye, inanca ya da insana bağlanamayan,sürekli huzursuz, karamsar ve yapayalnız biriydim. Yaşama coşkumu çoktan kaybetmiş, belki de hiç kazanamamıştım. Bana kalırsa kişisel tarihimin tek bir teması vardı; hayalkırıklığı.”

“What this means is that the lonelier a person gets, the less adept they become at navigating social currents. Loneliness grows around them, like mould or fur, a prophylactic that inhibits contact, no matter how badly contact is desired. Loneliness is accretive, extending and perpetuation itself. Once it becomes impacted, it is by no means easy to dislodge. This is why I was suddenly so hyper-alert to criticism, and why I felt so perpetually exposed hunching in on myself even as I walked anonymously through the streets, my flip-flops slapping on the ground.”

“Until only recently, the light that bathed the now-empty apartment had contained the smells of our life there. The kitchen window. The smiling faces of friends, the fresh greenery of the university campus as a backdrop to Sotaro's profile, my grandmother's voice on the phone when i called her late at night, my warm bed on cold mornings, the sound of my grandmother's slippers in the hallway, the color of the curtains...the tatami mat...the clock on the wall. All of it. Everything that was no longer there.”
