“Canoe + waterfall = I don't go camping anymore.”
“Canoe plus waterfall equals I don't go camping anymore.”
“Canoeing was hard and scary, and the wind could blow you across the lake if you did it wrong. After a year of not doing it right, I could talk to people and get them to sit up straight, take different kinds of chances, to breathe differently, to engage in the moment in the boat. And I changed them, and I changed me in the process.”
“Canoes, too, are unobtrusive; they don't storm the natural world or ride over it, but drift in upon it as a part of its own silence. As you either care about what the land is or not, so do you like or dislike quiet things--sailboats, or rainy green mornings in foreign places, or a grazing herd, or the ruins of old monasteries in the mountains. . . . Chances for being quiet nowadays are limited.”

“Canonization, limitation, and reduction of God to a “few” sentences are inconceivable attempts to kill and expel God from people under the excuse that God is doing that.

“Cansados de aquel delirio hermenéutico, los trabajadores repudiaron a las autoridades de Macondo y subieron con sus quejas a los tribunales supremos. Fue allí donde los ilusionistas del derecho demostraron que las reclamaciones carecían de toda validez, simplemente porque la compañía bananera no tenía, ni había tenido nunca ni tendría jamás trabajadores a su servicio, sino que los reclutaba ocasionalmente con carácter temporal.”
“Cansiz, Bir Şiir
Seni çok özlüyorum,
Ne zaman geleceksin ya!
Benim kafamı kırmaya,
Ne zaman bağıracaksın ya!
Ne olursa olsun hemen gel,
Sensiz hayat çok acıyor.
Gel, çıldırt bu bilim adamını,
Cansız akıllılık çok acıyor.
Senin için adımı kaybettim
Senin için arzuları kaybettim.
Bir tek ruhum önemli vardı bana,
Senin için ruhumu bile feda ettim.
Hayat ne kadar zor olursa olsun,
Şair ben, yaralarımla yaşıyorum.
Ama ben artık şair olmak değil,
Sevgili olmak istiyorum.”

“Cant is always rather nauseating; but before we condemn political hypocrisy, let us remember that it is the tribute paid by men of leather to men of God, and that the acting of the part of someone better than oneself may actually commit one to a course of behavior perceptibly less evil than what would be normal and natural in an avowed cynic.”

“Cantor approved of a system which had allowed him to get rich, but he also believed in pulling the ladder up afterwards. If everyone succeeded, nobody did. Anything else was basically communism”
“Cantor illustrated the concept of infinity for his students by telling them that there was once a man who had a hotel with an infinite number of rooms, and the hotel was fully occupied. Then one more guest arrived. So the owner moved the guest in room number 1 into room number 2; the guest in room number 2 into number 3; the guest in 3 into room 4, and so on. In that way room number 1 became vacant for the new guest.
What delights me about this story is that everyone involved, the guests and the owner, accept it as perfectly natural to carry out an infinite number of operations so that one guest can have peace and quiet in a room of his own. That is a great tribute to solitude.”

Yeni fikirlerle ayağa kalkan, mızmızlanmayan ve laçkalaşmayan... Dedikodusuz, yalansız, çekiştirmesiz, seni bütünleyen, seninle bütünlenebilen.”
