Quote by Gülsel Ceren Güneş

“Birbirlerine âşık evli bir çift olmaktan ziyade başarılı bir şirketi keyifle yönetir gibilerdi hep. Herkesin görev tanımı belliydi, özel günlerde yönetim kurulu olarak toplanıyorlardı. Bir mutsuzluğumuz yoktu ama mutlu da değildik sanki.”

“It doesn't matter whether you have children or not, a spouse or not; if you love anyone, and you're not an a$$hole, the need to care is waiting in the wings. If you are free for now, consider how many flukes and fortunes upon that freedom rests. Freedom is always contingent. Our failure to recognize this is why caregiving hits people's lives like a bus.”

“In his book The Captive Mind, written in 1951-2 and published in the West in 1953, the Polish poet and essayist Czeslaw Milosz paid Orwell one of the greatest compliments that one writer has ever bestowed upon another. Milosz had seen the Stalinisation of Eastern Europe from the inside, as a cultural official. He wrote, of his fellow-sufferers: A few have become acquainted with Orwell’s 1984; because it is both difficult to obtain and dangerous to possess, it is known only to certain members of the Inner Party. Orwell fascinates them through his insight into details they know well, and through his use of Swiftian satire. Such a form of writing is forbidden by the New Faith because allegory, by nature manifold in meaning, would trespass beyond the prescriptions of socialist realism and the demands of the censor. Even those who know Orwell only by hearsay are amazed that a writer who never lived in Russia should have so keen a perception into its life. Only one or two years after Orwell’s death, in other words, his book about a secret book circulated only within the Inner Party was itself a secret book circulated only within the Inner Party.”

“Isaac Deutscher was best known—like his compatriot Joseph Conrad—for learning English at a late age and becoming a prose master in it. But, when he writes above, about the ‘fact’ that millions of people ‘may’ conclude something, he commits a solecism in any language. Like many other critics, he judges Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four not as a novel or even as a polemic, but by the possibility that it may depress people. This has been the standard by which priests and censors have adjudged books to be lacking in that essential ‘uplift’ which makes them wholesome enough for mass consumption. The pretentious title of Deutscher’s essay only helps to reinforce the impression of something surreptitious being attempted.”
