“Marko era mi novio. No hubo un momento particular en el que supe que Marko era el indicado. Todo sucedió gradualmente. Fue insistente; de hecho, lo había sido durante muchos años. Pero más que nada, siempre podía contar con él. Me consolaba en los momentos de mayor sufrimiento. Cuando la policía me llevó de vuelta a la fuerza a Sarajevo, me llamaba por teléfono a menudo sólo para saber cómo estaba. En el periodo que contemplaba la posibilidad de ser monja, nunca intentó persuadirme de lo contrario. Y cuando se mudó a la ciudad, estaba pendiente de mí. Me di cuenta que realmente yo le importaba y mi corazón empezó a abrirse a él poco a poco. Un chico con menos paciencia probablemente hubiera renunciado hacía años. Siempre había sido maravilloso y amable, y, lo más importante, era creyente.”

“Marko pressed the creased paper flat against the note stand, rested the pads of his fingers lightly over the top of the keys and began to play. I watched him at first, my eyes drinking in the gorgeous sight that was Marko lost inside his head, but then the music—at first soft, like drops of dew, then rippling and rolling like a shower of rain—swept me away.”

“Marks," he said, his voice uneven, "you are not a perfect woman."
'I'm aware of that," she said.
"You have an evil temper, you're as blind as a mole, you're a deplorable poet, and frankly, your French accent could use some work." Supporting himself on his elbows, Leo took her face in his hands. "But when I put those things together with the rest of you, it makes you into the most perfectly imperfect woman I've ever known."
Absurdly pleased, she smiled up into his face.
"You are beautiful beyond words," Leo went on. "You are kind, amusing, and passionate. You also have a keen intellect, but I'm willing to overlook that.”

“Marks was so self-contained and tenacious that it was often easy to forget she was still a young woman in her early twenties. When Leo had first met her, she had been the perfect embodiment of a dried-up spinster, with her spectacles and forbidding scowl and her stern hyphen of a mouth. Her spine was unbending as a fireplace poker, and her hair, the dull brown of apple moths, was always pinned back too tightly. The Grim Reaper, Leo had nicknamed her, despite the objections of the family.
But the past year had wrought a remarkable change in Marks. She had filled out, her body slender but no longer matchstick thin, and her cheeks had gained color. A week and a half ago, when Leo had arrived from London, he had been absolutely astonished to see Marks with light golden locks. Apparently she had been dyeing her hair for years, but after an error on the part of the apothecary, she had been forced to abandon the disguise. And whereas the darker brown locks had been too severe for her delicate features and pale skin, her own natural blond was stunning.
Which had left Leo to grapple with the fact that Catherine Marks, his mortal enemy, was a beauty. It wasn't really the altered hair color that made her look so different... it was more that Marks was so uncomfortable without it. She felt vulnerable, and it showed. As a result, Leo wanted to strip away more layers, literal and physical. He wanted to know her.”

“Marksist psikolojinin temel izlekleri, yabancılaşma, ideoloji, yanlış bilinç ve yöntembilim tartışmaları olacaktır. Özellikle sosyal ve politik psikoloji alanlarında, son yıllarda, ideoloji ve yanlış bilinç kavramsallaştırmalarından esinlenilerek sistemi meşrulaştırma kuramı adında bir kuram geliştirilmiş ve bu kuramdan hareketle birçok bulguya ulaşılmıştır. Kuram, özetin özeti olarak ifade edeceksek, bu kadar adaletsizliğe karşın neden insanların isyan etmediğini ezilenlerin iç dünyalarına atıfla açıklamakta bir hayli başarılı olmuştur. Kurama göre, ezilenlerin ezici bir çoğunluğu adaletsizliği kabullenmişlerdir. Zenginler gibi yaşamak istemektedirler. Kendilerini küçük görürler. Zenginlerin güzel bir yaşamı hak ettiklerine inanırlar.
Medya ve eğitim sistemi başta olmak üzere çeşitli toplumsal kurumlar ezilen çoğunluğa bu yanlış bilinç öğelerini sürekli olarak pompalarlar. Böylece, “böyle gelir böyle gider”. Toplumsal kurumlar, ezilen çoğunluğun adaletsizlikleri içselleştirmesini, onların kaderci olmalarını sağlar. Kuram, bu tür düşüncelere Marksist anlamda ‘yanlış bilinç’ der, çünkü bunlar, açıkça, ezilen çoğunluğun zararınadır ve onların ezilmeye devam etmelerini sağlamaktadır.”

“Marla [from Rules Don't Apply] especially, believed that she has a certain set of rules that she had to abide by, in order to be successful in Hollywood. How she acted, how she approached things and even in her relationship with her mother - there were a lot more rules and regulations expected of ambitious women, even before they got into the door.”

“Marla tells me how in the wild you don't see old animals because as soon as they age, animals die. If they get sick or slow down, something stronger kills them. Animals aren't meant to get old. Marla lies down on her bed and undoes the tie on her bathrobe, and says our culture has made death something wrong. Old animals should be an unnatural exception. Freaks.”
“Marla's philosophy of life, she told me, is that she can die at any moment. The tragedy of her life is that she doesn't.”

“Marlee [Matlin] is who she is and just happens to use an interpreter. I'm not a teacher. I'm not a helper. I'm just Jack, the interpreter guy.”
“Marlee has said a million times, "Wouldn't it be funny if there was a camera trained on the two of us?" because we get involved in some very interesting situations. We'll be on a plane and she gets handed a Braille menu because they think she is blind, or producers that turn to the director of a show she's on and say, "Marlee Matlin is great, but is she going to be deaf for the whole show?" She used to freak people out with the speaker phone in her car by having me sign what they were saying on the speaker phone and then she would speak herself.”
“Marlee, what are you doing? Get under a tent before you burn your skin." She gave me a polite smile. "I'm happy here." "No, really," I said, putting a hand around her arm. "You'll look like my hair.”

“Marlene Dietrich and Roy Rogers are the only two living humans who should be allowed to wear black leather pants.”
“Marlene Dietrich for the way there was something so unique about her - the way she entered into a frame and everybody looks at her and the way she winks and looks up.”
“Marlene, don’t be rude.”
“Mami, I wasn’t being rude. Everyone has jokes about my looks and it’s annoying.”
“Jokes or no jokes, they are your elders. You have to respect them.”
It’s always like this with my family. They make a billion mean or judgy comments and the moment I say one little thing, I get in trouble.
“How come they don’t have to respect me, huh?”

“Marlene Dumas is one of the two or three most successful female artists alive, if you judge by prices. I've never reviewed her work, because I find nothing in it to get excited about no matter how hard I look.”
