As hounds, and greyhounds, mongrels, spaniels, curs,
Shoughs, water-rugs, and demi-wolves, are 'clept

The housekeeper, the hunter, every one
According to the gift which bounteous nature
Hath in him closed.”

“AYA HAD TOLD OF the beginning of the world.
She had been as fire in the void, twisting, churning, wanting to form. Over time she had taken shape, and it had hurt. Nemours knew how much, but Mother described it also as a joy.
To become.
From particles burning and melding she had grown into a great dragon, rough-hewn by the collisions of time. Sharp eyes watching the darkness, fire now her breath.
The fire, raging alone, had made clouds, and the clouds made rain. The rain had fallen, sweet, and made a sea. The rain had turned salty with her tears and made more seas.
And from that fire and rain and the very dust of stars Father had formed.
Or so she liked to say.
She described Virso coming together, shaped already like a man. The most beautiful of creatures, with the coldness of the moon on his skin, asleep still in the ether. So enamored was she that she had retreated into her own body and remade herself in his likeness.
The dragon had hardened and cracked, and she had emerged from it with long limbs, awkward for a while, and reached for him. The body, empty, had fallen from her and into the sea.
Aya had taken Virso by the hand and breathed fire and life into him. Their passion had begun.
Beneath them, the gigantic dragon body in the water had petrified and become the world.
Or so she liked to tell. It had always been difficult to catch Mother out of a poetic mood. She was magic, and she liked illusion.”

“Ayahuasca is a brew that's made from the vine, which is the hallucinogenic element. And then there's also this leaf from a bush. And the vine is supposed to be the masculine and the bush is supposed to be the feminine, and this female shaman did a tea drinking ceremony with us, where we drank Wyoosa. And the intention was to go and find pieces of your soul that were missing and bring them back to your body so you could live more fully with yourself and it's called soul retrieval.”
“Ayahuasca is a symbiotic ally of the human species.”
“Ayahuasca is driven by sound, by song, by whistling. And its ability to transform sound, including vocal sound, into the visual spectrum indicates that some kind of information processing membrane or boundary is being overcome by the pharmacology of this stuff. And things normally experienced as acoustically experienced becomes visibly beheld, and it's quite spectacular.”
“Ayahuasca loves to take prideful people and rub their nose in it. I mean it can make you beg for mercy like nothing. You have to really approach it humbly.”
“Ayahuasca, unlike mushrooms and all these other things is only as good as the person who made it. . . . The ayahuasca is a combinatory drug, and so it brings the human interaction and the lore of it into a much more central position.”

“Ayasofya hâlimizdir. Şimdi müze olarak kullanılmaktadır. Aslî mahiyetine yabancılaşmış, Allah'a kulluk tezahürünün mekanı olmaktan çıkmış, bir teşhir merkezine dönüşmüştür. Ama ne kadar yabancılaşsa da, dört bir tarafından göğe doğru açılmış minareleri, içinde göreni haşyete sürükleyen lahuti levhaları ve en önemlisi de gireni ve göreni derin bir hüzne sürükleyen o garipliği ile bu kadar zamandır inkar ettiğimiz kimliğimizi yüzümüze çarpmaktadır. Ayasofya yüzümüzde şaklayan bir tokattır. Bütün haşmeti ve sembollerine rağmen müze olarak kullanılmasının bütün zillet, acizlik ve yenilgimize rağmen izezt sahibi insanlar gibi ortalıkta dolaşmamızdan bir farkı var mıdır? Dışımız Ayasofya'dır, içimiz laikleştirilmiş bir müzedir. Dışımız dört yandan bakıldığında minareleri ile cami görüntüsündedir, ama bu minareler ezansızdır. Dışımız, indirilemeyen İzzet Efendi'nin levhaları gibi ilk bakana mânâmızı söyler, ama o levhaların dili susturulmuştur. Ayasofya halimizdir, gerçek kimliğimizi yüzümüze çarpan, ne olduğumuzu, nereden gelip nereye gittiğimizi vicdanımıza haykıran içimizdeki dinmeyen sestir. Ayasofya bir remzdir, bir simgedir, bir şiardır. Bizi bize anlatır. Bizi cümle âleme anlatır.
Madem Ayasofya halimizdir, istikbalimizin parlak şafağı onun kubbesinden ışıyacaktır.”

“Ayatollah Khamenei actually is not the most powerful person in Iran. He does not make nuclear policy. He does not make security policy. He is one voice among many and not even the most important voice by any means.When nuclear strategy is being discussed in Iran, he is not the dominant figure to make things happen. So I think this sense which he has created to a considerable degree by his own self-promotion has made him the center of attention when, in fact, the real center of activity is some place else.”
“Ayatollah Khomeini issued a fatwa to that effect, which was then given effect in the Islamic Republic of Iran, so in the Islamic Republic of Iran, it's flexible enough to allow for sex changes, and it encourages sex changes. But if you want to change your religion in Iran, you've got some serious problems. There are other problems. You're allowed to change sex, but if you want to be a homosexual, theoretically at least, you face the death penalty. Quite how often these penalties are carried out is a moot point, but it's there on the statute books.”
“Ayden and Blake stared each other down.
"Oh. My. God," Luna blurted from Ayden's back seat. "It's a love triangle."
We all looked at her like she'd sprouted an alien from her head. "it's just like in a book. Two guys after one girl and-"
I groaned. "That's ridiculous, Luna, this is not a love triangle."
"Says the girl in the middle of a love triangle. Luna ignored my protests and prattled on. "Not one Hexy Boy but two. I've got to call Danica. Oooo," she squealed and clapped her hands,"We could have teams. Team Ayden and Team Blake. With T-shirt and buttons and-"
"I could make a website," Lucian offered.
"No!" My voice pitched with panic. "No teams. No shirts. No-"
"I'll get you some headshots," Blake said, turning his profile towards Luna and Lucian. "I've been told the left is my best side. What do you think?"
"Aurora's right," Ayden said. "This is buts. Blake you can follow us-"
"Dude, you know no one would pick Team Ayden. You're just jealous."
"That's not true. My team would be way bigger than yours."
"Dare to dream, little man, dare to dream."
"Care to make a wager on it?"
"Absolutely."
"Fine. How about-"
"You two shut up!" I shoved myself out of the car.”

“Aydınlanma düşüncesinin temsilcilerinden biri sayabileceğimiz Immanuel Kant, aydınlanmayı ergin olmayış durumundan kurtulma olarak tanımlar; ergin olmayış insanın kendi hatası ile içine düşmüş olduğu, kendi hayatıyla ilgili kararları kendisinin değil, kendisi dışında bir başkasının almasına izin verdiği durumdur.”
