“ALEV HIRSIZI Bugün şöminede güneş yaktım. Sonradan farkına vardım. Uzun hikâye. Önce bir tohum aldım. Toprağa umutla attım. Bir müddet karanlıkta kaldı. Sonra aniden ortaya çıktı. Ben suladım, o büyüdü, Derken ortaya bir yaprak çıktı. Yaprak güneşe uzunca baktı. Tüm gücünü ondan aldı. Artık nasıl yaptıysa yaptı, Yaprak gövdesini güneşten yarattı. Zannımca güneşi kendine ruh yaptı. Zamanı geçen haftaydı. Dalları itinayla budandı. Sonrası çok kolaydı. Attım şömineye bir dalı, Kibrit ona özünü hatırlattı. Güneşten topladığı alevi Sadece serbest bıraktı.”

“First there is the World. Then there is the Other World. The Other World is where I sometimes lose my footing. In its calendar turnings, its preinvented existence. The barrage of twists and turns where I sometimes get weary trying to keep up with it, minute by minute adapt: the world of the stoplight, the no-smoking signs, the rental world, the split-rail fencing shielding hundreds of miles of barren wilderness from the human step. A place where by virtue of ha ing been born centuries late one is denied access to earth of space, choice or movement. The brought up world; the owned world. The world of coded sounds: the world of language, the world of lies. The packaged world; the world of speed in metallic motion. The Other World where I've always felt like an alien.”

“He had promised to let Julian speak without arguing; the promise was the only thing that kept him steady. There was no revering him anymore. Only love remained, and it was a fragile thing that Paul had been desperate not to see. He couldn't stand to look at the truth, even now. All they were--all they had ever been was a pair of sunflowers who each believed the other was the sun.”

“Writing keeps me at my desk, constantly trying to write a perfect sentence. It is a great privilege to make one’s living from writing sentences. The sentence is the greatest invention of civilization. To sit all day long assembling these extraordinary strings of words is a marvelous thing… For me, a line has to sing before it does anything else. The great thrill is when a sentence that starts out being completely plain suddenly begins to sing, rising far above itself and above any expectation I might have had for it. That’s what keeps me going on those dark December days when I think about how I could be living instead of writing.”

“Many people who became successful were once first time global failures. But because they didn't give up on their dreams, failure could not sink them. They triumphed at last!”
