Quote by Enis Batur

“Göğün karaya ilişeceği yer dolayımda olmalıydı. Herşeyi birbirine karıştırıyordum. Sevgi ile ölümü, özlem ile boşyereliği, bitmişlik ile coşkuyu. Yalnızlığın yalnızca bir sözcük olamayacağını içimde, beynimde besliyordum. Sabahları, gökyüzünün kirli geçmişinde, uzak şimdisinde, olamaz geleceğinde tozlu yollara doluşuyordum. O teciyi arıyordum. Kendimi. Her durgun bakışın, her bulanık gözün eskimiş biliminde sessiz bir sonu algılıyordum. Toprağın simyasında zamanın yavaşlaması vardı. Pineklemesi. Kuşların yırtıcı umutsuzluğu, sonra. Güneş bir bildiri gibi yükseliyordu. Kaçıyordum. Böyle anlarda her sokağın bana çıkmasından korkardım.”

“When she was twenty three years old she met, at a christmas party, a young man from the Erewash Valley. Morel was then twenty-seven years old. He was well-set-up, erect and very smart. He had wavy, black hair that shone again, and a vigorous black beard that had never been shaved. His cheeks were ruddy, and his red moist mouth was noticeable because he laughed so often and so heartily. He had that rare thing, a rich, ringing laugh. Gertrude Coppard had watched him fascinated. He was so full of colour and animation, his voice ran so easily into comic grotesque, he was so ready and so pleasant with everybody... Walter Morel seemed melted away before her. She was to the miner that thing of mystery and fascination, a lady.”

“Close your circle Poppy, tight, like a noose on a rat. Protect your heart like a guard dog, cause people have lost their minds Poppy, like sheep they've gone astray. Out in the wilderness. But you've been found. Shine the light cause its a dark world, but you don't have to face it alone. Aww, Ma Mae, you always know what to say. That was actually sweet. Poppy went to embrace her mother but Ma Mae put out her hand in resistence. No hugs, you know I'm not a hugger. How can you be a southern woman and not hug? Lotsa experience hugging the wrong people.”

“My daughter needs fidelity, not juvenility, Ma Mae said, flippin her head like a backlash. Sissy: Mama, that's not w rod. Poppy: Actually, that is a word. Now I know I have a gene pool of vocabulary. I just thought it had been a fluke. She actually knows words. "Mama why don't you speak like that all the time. That was smart. I just save it for letters and legal papers. No need to waste my brain. It comes out too when I'm mad. Philip just stood there watching the women go back and forth and knew the apples were with the tree.”
