“Gershwin inspired me very much. The concept of 'That Lucky Old Sun' was inspired by 'Rhapsody in Blue' - not influenced, but inspired.”
“Gershwin's melodic gift was phenomenal. His songs contain the essence of New York in the 1920s and have deservedly become classics of their kind, part of the 20th-century folk-song tradition in the sense that they are popular music which has been spread by oral tradition (for many must have sung a Gershwin song without having any idea who wrote it).”
“Gershwin's tragedy was not that he failed to cross the tracks, but rather that he did, and once there in his new habitat, was deprived of the chance to plunge his roots firmly into the new soil.”

Chase: Ooo, look at me! I'm a big fluffy nerd!”

“Gert: Wake me when the fight scene's over. Kitty Pryde: Oy, tell me about it. Hey, I'm Kitty. You the token pacifist of your group? Gert: Not exactly. Pacifists are like vegans, I'm more of a vegetarian. I enjoy fish and occasional maulings.”
“Gerti didn’t ask for help.” Miri swallowed and tried to calm her quavering voice. “It was my fault.” “So it was. Now you all have learned that those who speak out of turn choose punishment for themselves and anyone they speak to.” “So if I speak to you, Tutor Olana, will you get the lashes?”

“Gertie C. had had a half-controlled hallucinosis for decades before she started on L-dopa - bucolic hallucinations of lying in a sunlit meadow or floating in a creek near her childhood home. This changed when she was given L-dopa, and her hallucinations assumed a social and sometimes sexual character. When she told me about this, she added, anxiously - You surely wouldn’t forbid a friendly hallucination to a frustrated old lady like me!
I replied that if her hallucinations had a pleasant and controllable character, they seemed rather a good idea under the circumstances. After this, the paranoid quality dropped away, and her hallucinatory encounters became purely amicable and amorous. She developed a humor and tact and control, never allowing herself a hallucination before eight in the evening and keeping its duration to thirty to forty minutes at most.
If her relatives stayed too late, she would explain firmly but pleasantly that she was expecting a gentleman visitor from out of town in a few minutes’ time, and she felt he might take it amiss if he was kept waiting outside. She now receives love, attention, and invisible presents from a hallucinatory gentleman who visits faithfully each evening.”

“Gertrude Jekyll, like Monet, was a painter with poor eyesight, and their gardens - his at Giverny in the Seine valley, hers in Surrey - had resemblance's that may have sprung from this condition. Both loved plants that foamed and frothed over walls and pergolas, spread in tides beneath trees; both saw flowers in islands of colored light - an image the normal eye captures only by squinting.”

“Gertrude Stein's prose-song is a cold, black suet-pudding.... Cut it at any point, it is the same thing ... all fat, without nerve.”
“Gertrude Stein, all courage and will, is a soldier of minimalism. Her work, unlike the resonating silences in the art of Samuel Beckett, embodies in its loquacity and verbosity the curious paradox of the minimalist form. This art of the nuance in repetition and placement she shares with the orchestral compositions of Philip Glass.”

“Geryon had a trolley thing like of those kiddie trains that take you around zoos. It was painted black and white in a cowhide pattern. The drivers car had a set of longhorns stuck to the hood, and the horn sounded like a cowbell. I figured maybe this was how he tortured people. He embarrassed them to death riding around in the moo-mobile.”

Saatlerce olduğuna yemin edebileceğin fakat gerçekte birkaç saniye süren, hiç uyanmak istemediğin o tatlı rüya…”

“Gerçek zenginlik göze görünmez evlat." dedi yumuşak bir sesle. Çok özlediğim dedemin, her defasında içime işleyen, güven dolu sesine benzer bir sesti bu.
"Ev, araba, kıyafet, mücevher ya da başka lüksler… Bunların hiçbiri gerçek zenginlik değildir. Gerçek zenginlik onurdur. Onuruyla çalışıp alın teriyle ekmeğini kazanmış bir emekçi, benim gözümde çok parası olan onursuz bir tüccardan daha zengindir. Sadece onur da değil; bilgidir gerçek zenginlik mesela. Göremezsin, elinle tutamazsın, sayamazsın ama vicdandır gerçek zenginlik. Ne hayatlar kurtarır vicdan, bilir misin? Parası olmayan bir fukara seninle ekmeğini paylaşır ama tüm dünyayı yakmak için bir vicdan fukarası yeter!”
