“Good morning, Grandma little owl,” he said, still running. “Good morning, dear Nader… I’m trying to sleep. It was a long night,” said the kind owl, resting above a high rock. “Well, then… happy dreams, grandma little owl,” “Don’t wander far alone; the wolves might eat you,” warned the little owl before she surrendered to sleep. Of course, the fawn was running at top speed; he couldn’t hear her advice.”

“I glare at him and sigh. “Don't you understand what a book is?” “Obviously.” “Then how can it be boring? It's not just twenty-six little letters all mushed together to make words that link together to tell a story. It's the creation of another world where anything can happen and anyone can be whoever they want to be. It's a crazy, special kind of magic that can transport you out of the real world, to anywhere you want to go. It doesn't matter if it's a made-up universe or it's written in a city you can drive to within an hour. It's what happens within the pages that makes reading so...not boring.”

“Güçlük var. Fakat imkansız değil. Biz şimdi bir aksülamel devrinde yaşıyoruz. Kendimizi sevmiyoruz. Kafamız bir yığın mukayeselerle dolu; Dede'yi, Wagner olmadığı için, Yunus'u, Verlaine, Baki'yi, Goethe ve Gide yapamadığımız için beğenmiyoruz. Uçsuz bucaksız Asya'nın o kadar zenginliği içinde, dünyanın en iyi giyinmiş milleti olduğumuz halde çırçıplak yaşıyoruz. Coğrafya, kültür, herşey bizden bir yeni terkip bekliyor; biz misyonlarımızın farkında değiliz. Başka milletlerin tecrübesini yaşamağa çalışıyoruz.”

“My Aunt and Uncle can’t stop me. The other contestants can’t break me. The judges do not decide my fate. ♬ “It won’t always be like this.” ♬ It is a song wrapped in a memory. A memory wrapped in a song. And it is all mine. No matter the outcome. No matter the prize. This moment is all mine, and no one can take that away from me. ♬ “But the beauty is here to stay.” ♬ The piano notes had already stopped as I sing out my last line. Like it was just me, vulnerable and real, as I leave it all on that stage.”

“It didn’t talk about pretty lights, love, or shiny stars, but when he called me kid, it felt like somebody grabbed my hand and pulled me out of my OCD cycle. It was soothing, it was freedom. It was so weird. I felt like I had known him for years. I had become so weak from the inside that even the slightest word of comfort blew this intense emotion in me. — Arya Kashyap”
