Quote by Sophia Nikolaidou

“Grandma calls it the Socratic Method. She considers it the highest pedagogical technique. I call it cornering a person. Instead of just telling you what I want you to know, I ambush you with questions. You try to escape, but you can’t. You can run whichever way you like, but in the end you’ll fall right into my trap.”

“I think writing Young Adult fiction is about writing into the realm of possibility. At that age, people are so much on the cusp between childhood and adulthood, and it's both this time of making decisions and this time of opportunity. I visualize it as a place where there are all these doors that are closed, but not necessarily locked. It's about kids having this choice—not every door is going to be easy to open. Some doors are going to be pulling back against those kids. But I think Young Adult literature is about opening those doors.”

“Krallığımda, alışıldık olanın tersini yapardım; Her türlü ticareti yasaklardım; Yargıç margıç olmazdı; Eğitime gerek kalmazdı; Zengin, yoksul olmaz, uşaklık kalkardı; Sözleşme, miras, arazi sınırı, tarım, bağ bahçe olmazdı; Madene, buğdaya, şaraba, yağa ihtiyaç duyulmazdı; Uğraş diye bir şey olmaz, herkes aylaklık ederdi; Kadınlar da saf ve temiz olurdu; Hükümdarlığa gerek kalmazdı.”
