Quote by J.G. Ballard

“Recently she had become intrigued by the admiring glances of other women. The admiration of her own sex existed on a higher and more intense plane than anything men could offer, like the romantic rivalries of sisters. Together, women formed a conspiracy of glances entirely exchanged behind the backs of their menfolk.”

“Bir biz varız güzel öbürleri hep çirkin Birde bu terli karanlık Sonra bir şey daha var muhakkak ama adını bilmiyorum Nereden başlasam sonunda o ışıkla karşılaşıyorum Yarı çıplak utanmaz bir kadın resmini aydınlatıyor Akşam oluyor ya bir türlü inanamıyorum Oturmuş iri yapılı adamlar esrar çekiyorlar Daha bir aydınlık olsun diye içtikleri su Sarı toprakdan testileri güneşte pişiriyorlar Bir korkuyorum yanlız kalmaktan bir korkuyorum Gündüzleri delice çalışıyorum geceleri kadınlarla yatıyorum Sonra birden büyümüş görüyorum ağaçları Kısrakları birden yavrulamış Havaları birden güneşli Kadınlarla yattığım yetse ya Birde kadınlarla yattığıma inanmam gerekiyor Hoşlanmıyorum”

“The younger man stepped away from the table and came toward me, his whole posture radiating menace. Every Darre woman is taught to deal with such behavior from men. It is an animal trick that they use, like dogs ruffling their fur and growling. Only rarely is there an actual threat behind it, and a woman's strength lies in discerning when the threat is real and when it is just hair and noise.”

“A clever girl is the most wonderful thing in all Creation you know: you must never forget that. People expect men to be clever. They expect girls to be stupid or at least silly, which very few girls really are, but most girls oblige them by acting like it. So you just go away and be as clever as ever you can: put their noses out of joint for them. It's the best thing you could possibly do, you and all the clever girls in this city and the world.”

“I've never met a person, I don't care what his condition, in whom I could not see possibilities. I don't care how much a man may consider himself a failure. I believe in him, for he can change the thing that is wrong in his life any time he is ready and prepared to do it. Whenever he develops the desire he can take away from his life the thing that is defeating it. The capacity for reformation and change lies within.”
