“Fikirlerinin renkleri kırmızı olsun böylece herkes onları kolayca fark edebilir! Ve kırmızı nedir? Kırmızı çığlıktır, kırmızı güçtür, kırmızı iddiadır!”
“Fikrin korkusuz olduğu ve başın dik tutulduğu yerde;
Bilginin serbest olduğu ve dünyanın hususi duvarlarla dar bölmelere ayrılmadığı yerde;
Kelimelerin, doğruluğun derinliğinden meydana çıktığı yerde;
Sa'yin, kollarını kemâle uzattığı yerde;
Berrak akıl nehrinin, ölmüş adetlerin hazin çölünde yolunu kaybetmediği yerde;
Tanrım, sen benim memleketimi, işte bu hürriyet cennetinde uyandır.”

“Filial obedience is the first and greatest requisite of a state; by this we become good subjects to our emperors, capable of behaving with just subordination to our superiors, and grateful dependents on heaven; by this we become fonder of marriage, in order to be capable of exacting obedience from others in our turn; by this we become good magistrates, for early submission is the truest lesson to those who would learn to rule. By this the whole state may be said to resemble one family.”

“Filial Piety is the principle of Heaven, The righteousness of Earth, And the (proper) conduct of the people.”
“Filibuster has long tradition, but used to harm civil rights.”
“Filibusters have proliferated because under current rules just one or two determined senators can stop the Senate from functioning. Today, the mere threat of a filibuster is enough to stop a vote; senators are rarely asked to pull all-nighters like Jimmy Stewart in 'Mr. Smith Goes to Washington.'”
“Filibusters should require 35 senators to... make a commitment to continually debate an issue in reality, not just in theory. The number of votes needed to overcome a filibuster should be reduced to 55 from 60.”

“Filip was from San Jose, but his painfully good looks excused that. He was tall, six-foot-something-or-other, intensely blue eyes, chiseled features, massive package. Didn't have Prince Albert in a Can, but he did have a thick gauged one through his cock head. His name really wasn’t Filip, it was Brent, an all-American moniker about as dark and mysterious as pastel-colored bobby socks. Initially, I joked about his choice of sobriquet, changing his name to go off to the big city, transform into Mr. Big Stuff, until it dawned on me I’d done the same damn thing with my ‘Catalyst’ surname. So I shut up.
He comported himself with rigid shoulders and stiff gestures, as if he had a secret. Turns out he did. Filip was married, had a wife for more than a year now, but they had some kind of crazy arrangement. Days they were a couple; evenings they were free to do as they pleased. Where’d they come up with that idea, Jerry Springer?
“If you wanted to go back to your place, we could,” Filip suggested. “But only until dawn.” Yeah, right. An affair is an affair, the way I see it. What difference is there between 5 and 7 a.m.? Was their marriage some sort of religious fasting thing, starve until the sun sets then binge and party down? I'd never sunk my teeth into married meat, but figured it was a logical progression from my I'm Not Gay But It's Different With You saga. And if I was going to sin, I was gonna sin good. That means no peeking to see whether it’s still dark outside.”

Therefore one asks, how can unread novels exert any influence?”
