“Asking where memory is "located" in the brain is like asking where running is located in the body. There are certainly parts of the body that are more important (the legs) or less important (the little fingers) in performing the task of running but, in the end, it is an activity that requires complex coordination among a great many body parts and muscle groups. To extend the analogy, looking for differences between memory systems is like looking for differences between running and walking. There certainly are many differences, but the main difference is that running requires more coordination among the different body parts and can be disrupted by small things (such as a corn on the toe) that may not interfere with walking at all. Are we to conclude, then, that running is located in the corn on your toe?”

“Aslan leaped again. A mad chase began. Round and round the hill-top he led them, now hopelessly out of their reach, now letting them almost catch his tail, now diving between them, now tossing them in the air with his huge and beautifully velveted paws and catching them again, and now stopping unexpectedly so that all three of them rolled over together in a happy laughing heap of fur and arms and legs. It was such a romp as no one has ever had except in Narnia, and whether it was more like playing with a thunderstorm or playing with a kitten Lucy could never make up her mind.”

“Aslında aşk kelimesini hiç sevmediğimi, günümüzde bunun bir pazarlama aracına dönüştüğünü söyledim. Aşk dendiğinde sanki küçülüyordu her şey. O zaman gerçek aşka ne ad verdiğimi sordu.
"Karasevda" dedim.
"Karasevda?"
"Evet!" dedim. "İşte insana o çılgınlıkları yaptıran duygunun adı budur. Karasevdayla aşk farklıdır birbirinden. Asıl tehlikeli olan da karasevdadır. Araplar buna garâm der.”

“Aslında bir aşka, olup bittikten sonra, en sonundan baktığımda, geride aşk adıyla anılacak bir şey bulamıyorum; belki hoş bir duygucuk, kısa bir süre yaşanmış ama mutlaka sona ermiştir; geriye kalan buruk bir tebessüm, acılı bir anı, yitmiş bir aşk vehmi, görünmez olmuş! Oysa başlarken ne kadar inandırıcıdır her şey. İki insanın, bir örgü gibi, tülden, hafif bir dantel gibi sarınmışlıkları vardır aşkı. Etin ete, ısının ısıya geçişi; yitirdiği yarısını arayan insanoğlunun bulduğunu sandığı parçasına rastladığında geçirdiği bir baygınlıktır aşk. Sonu olmasa, sonu gelmese vardır, evet vardır. Bir düşünce olarak, nakşedilmiş bir bilgi olarak genlerimize, vardır; yoktur demeye dilimizin varmadığı; kıyamadığımız için yok olmasına, elbirliğiyle yalandan var ettiğimiz bir sözcük, olmasını hep istediğimiz ve isteyeceğimiz bir umuttur aşk, bu umudu çalmaya kimin gücü yeter yarının insanından?”
