Ler Quotes

1. "It's hard to be a minority. People look at you a different way, like you don't belong, and I don't think many people realize just how difficult it is to live as a minority. Where I come from, we learn to tolerate one another. Whether one is of Chinese descent or Malay descent, what matters is we're part of the same country, the same world."
Author: Andrea Hirata

2. "Felek benim gibi taninmis bir bilimadimini ölüme mahkûm ettigi için, belki alti ay sonra bu salonda benim yerime dersi baskasi verecegi için aciyla haykirmaktan zor alikoyuyorum kendimi. Bagirmak istiyorum, çünkü zehirlendigimi, daha önceden bilmedigim yepyeni düsüncelerin ömrümün son günlerinde beni aguladigini, beynime sivrisinekler gibi zehir akittiklarini düsünüyorum. Böyle anlarda durumum bana o derece korkunç görünüyor ki, ögrencilerimin de dehset duyarak yerlerinden firlamalarini, aci çigliklarla kendilerini disari atmalarini bekliyorum."
Author: Anton Chekhov

3. "Balaam: Faux prophête, dont l'ânesse avait, dit-on, la faculté de parler ; ce qui est regardé par les esprits forts comme un conte à dormir debout ; cependant ce miracle se perpétue dans l'église, où rien n'est plus ordinaire que de voir des ânes et des ânesses parler, et même raisonner sur la théologie."
Author: Baron D'Holbach

5. "For fear is a primary source of evil. And when the question "Who am I?" recurs and is unanswered, then fear and frustration project a negative attitude. The bewildered soul can answer only: "Since I do not understand 'Who I am,' I only know what I am not." The corollary of this emotional incertitude is snobbism, intolerance and racial hate. The xenophobic individual can only reject and destroy, as the xenophobic nation inevitably makes war."
Author: Carson McCullers

6. "War is not only a matter of equipment, artillery, group troops or air force; it is largely a matter of spirit, or morale."

10. "My god! i'm thinking, what incredible shit we've put up with most of our lives - the domestic routine (same old jobs, insufferable arrogance of elected officials, the crafty cheating and the slimy advertising of the businessman, the tedious wars in which we kill our buddies instead of our real enemies back home in the capital, the foul diseased and hideous cities and towns we live in, the constant petty tyranny of automatic washers and automobiles and tv machines and telephones -! ah christ!, i'm thinking, at the same time that i'm waving goodby to that hollering idiot on shore, what intolerable garbage and what utterly useless crap we bury ourselves in day by day, while patiently enduring at the same time the creeping strangulation of the clean white collar and the rich but modest four-in-hand garrote)"
Author: Edward Abbey

11. "...Opal is dead, and I don't see how a healer can change that! It's not something to joke about."Joke?" Then Owen hit his forehead and cried, "That's right, you haven't heard!"Heard what?" asked Adrien, who felt an insane glimmer of hope return to his heart.Death is on strike! She hasn't done that for two centuries, and it's very annoying. Your friend is alive."Very annoying?" repeated Amber. "I don't see what's so annoying about a miracle! What is Death on strike for?"Everyone knows that Death lives in Fairytale-in an inaccessible area, obviously. And just a few hours ago, she decided to stop working. So, for now, no one can die."
Author: Flavia Bujor

12. "Mosca felt something enormous swell within the knotted stomach that she hid behind her fists. It seemed it must surge out of her like a wild, black wave, sweeping away stalls and strollers alike and biting the plaster from the walls."
Author: Frances Hardinge

13. "... ich kann kein Volk mir denken, das zerißner wäre, wie die Deutschen. Handwerker siehst du, aber keine Menschen, Priester, aber keine Menschen, Herrn und Knechte, Jungenudn gesetzte Leute, aber keine Menschen - ist das nicht wie ein Schlachtfeld, wo Hände und Arme und Gleider zerstückelt untereinander liegen ... ? Ein jeder treibt das Seine, wirst du sagen, und ich sage es auch. Nur muß er es mit ganzer Seele treiben, muß nicht jede Kraft in sich ersticken, wenn sie nicht gerade sich zu seinem Titel paßt ... und ist er in ein Fach gedrückt, wo gar der Geist nicht leben darf, so stoß ers mit Verachtung weg und lerne pflügen!"
Author: Friedrich Hölderlin

17. "He had thrown himself away, he had lost interest in everything, and life, falling in with his feelings, had demanded nothing of him. He had lived as an outsider, an idler and onlooker, well liked in his young manhood, alone in his illness and advancing years. Seized with weariness, he sat down on the wall, and the river murmured darkly in his thoughts."
Author: Hermann Hesse

18. "Bu bencil dünyada bir sürü insan size duygularla ilerlenemeyecegini, ahlak kurallarina fazla saygi göstermenin yürüyüsü geciktirdigini söyleyeceklerdir; kendisine hiçbir yararlari olmadigi bahanesiyle, bir küçügü inciten, yasli bir kadina karsi kabalik suçu isleyen, iyi bir yasli adamin yaninda bir sikintiya katlanmaya yanasmayan, görgüsüz, bilgisiz ya da gelecegi göremeyen insanlar göreceksiniz; daha sonra, bu adamlarin kirip geçemeyecekleri dikenlere takildiklarini, hiç ugruna yasamlarini yaktiklarini göreceksiniz; oysa görev kuramina erkenden alismis insan hiçbir engelle karsilasmayacaktir; belki de o denli çabuk erisemeyecektir amacina, ama yeri saglam olacak, ötekilerinki yikildigi zaman onunki kalacaktir."
Author: Honoré De Balzac

20. "Görünürde hiçbir degisiklik olmadigi, her seyin tekdüze yasandigi günlerde Buck, havanin yavas yavas sogudugunu hissediyordu. Bir sabah geminin pervanesi durdu ve heyecanli bir hareketlilik basladi. Buck ve diger köpekler gemideki bu hareketliligin farkina vardilar. Ne oldugunu anlamaya çalisirken, François geldi, hepsinin boynuna birer ip bagladi, onlari güverteye çikardi. Buck adimini atinca, çamura basmis gibi oldu. Hirlayarak ayagini geri çekti. Yerdeki bu beyaz çamur gökyüzünden dökülüyordu. Buck, anlam vermeye çalisarak basini indirip kokladi, sonra yaladi, dilinde önce soguk, ardindan yakici bir etki biraki ve hemen suya dönüstü. Ne oldugunu bir türlü anlayamadi. Birkaç kez ayni seyi yapti. Çevreden izleyenler bu haline çok güldüler; Buck neden güldüklerini anlamadi ve utandi. O gün hayati boyunca ilk kez kar gördü."
Author: Jack London

21. "The last rain had come at the beginning of April and now, at the first of June, all but the hardiest mosquitoes had left their papery skins in the grass. It was already seven o'clock in the morning, long past time to close windows and doors, trap what was left of the night air slightly cooler only by virtue of the dark. The dust on the gravel had just enough energy to drift a short distance and then collapse on the flower beds. The sun had a white cast, as if shade and shadow, any flicker of nuance, had been burned out by its own fierce center. There would be no late afternoon gold, no pale early morning yellow, no flaming orange at sunset. If the plants had vocal cords they would sing their holy dirges like slaves."
Author: Jane Hamilton

"Why are you stopping in the middle of the stairs?""Why are you tailgating me?"He put his hand behind me, at butt level, without touching me. "What is that?" he demanded.I bent a little and slapped my butt, "Something the heir to a meat fortune should know all about. USDA grade-A prime,baby." I straightened. "Just kidding. Really, it's my butt."He put his hands on his hips, and from below I noticed his strong superhero chin again.He grumbled, "Why do you have 'boy toy' written across your butt?""Oh!" I put my hand over the words, realizing that I probably should have been embarrassed about this sooner. "These are my brother's jeans. He wrote it to annoy me. Or to get me a date."

24. "It's alright. I mean, sex can be messy sometimes and these things happen and… I really need to stop talking." Kyler chuckled deeply and then he kissed the tip of my nose.

26. "After visiting these two places (Berchtesgaden and the Eagle's lair on Obersalzberg) you can easily see how that within a few years Hitler will emerge from the hatred that surrounds him now as one of the most significant figures who ever lived. He had boundless ambition for his country, which rendered him a menace to the peace of the world, but he had a mystery about him in the way that he lived and in the manner of his death that will live and grow after him. He had in him the stuff of which legends are made."
Author: John F. Kennedy

27. "I wonder Pa went so easy. I wonder Grampa didn' kill nobody. Nobody never tol' Grampa where to put his feet. An' Ma ain't nobody you can push aroun' neither. I seen her beat the hell out of a tin peddler with a live chicken one time 'cause he give her a argument. She had the chicken in one han', an' the ax in the other, about to cut its head off. She aimed to go for that peddler with the ax, but she forgot which hand was which, an' she takes after him with the chicken. Couldn' even eat that chicken when she got done. They wasn't nothing but a pair of legs in her han'. Grampa throwed his hip outa joint laughin'."
Author: John Steinbeck

Author: Katherine Boo

29. "Merak ediyorum, niçin acaba belli bir noktadan sonra insanlari sanki igrendiriyorum. Tuhaf, degil mi! Baslarda hoslaniyorlar benden; beni alisilmadik ya da özgün buluyorlar; ama sonra onlardan hoslandigimi göstermek - hatta ipucu vermek - istedigim anda sanki korkup yok olmaya basliyorlar. Galiba daha sonra canimdan bezdirecek bu durum beni. Belki de onlara verecek çok fazla seyim oldugunu anliyorlar bir yolla. Belki onlari korkutan da bu. Ah, birisine verilecek öyle sinirsiz, sinirsiz sevgim oldugunu hissediyorum ki - birisini öylesine sonsuzca, öylesine bütünüyle sevebilirim ki - onu kollayabilirim - korkunç olan her seyi ondan uzak tutabilirim - bir seylerin yapilmasini istedikleri her kez bunu yapmak için yasadigimi hissettirebilirim. Ah bir hissedebilsem birisinin beni istedigini, birisine yararim dokunabilecegini, tümden baska bir kisiye dönüsürdüm."
Author: Katherine Mansfield

31. "This day was only the first of man similar ones for the emancipated Mole, each of them longer and fuller of interest as the ripening summer moved onward.

Author: Kenneth Grahame

32. "I enjoyed reading when I was a boy, but these days, I read all the time and it has rather taken the pleasure out of it for me. When I am at leisure, reading is the last thing I want to do.""That makes sense, I suppose. But for me, reading is an adventure. It makes me an armchair traveler and takes me places I shall never be able to go."
Author: Laura Lee Guhrke

33. "Dear Hitler Take away the torches I'm not guilty I had to have this"
Author: Leonard Cohen

34. "It is very odd to be standing in a locked room in the Penitentiary, speaking with a strange man about France and Italy and Germany. A travelling man. He must be a wanderer, like Jeremiah the peddler. But Jeremiah travelled to earn his bread, and these other sorts of men are rich enough already. They go on voyages because they are curious. They amble around the world and stare at things, they sail across the oceans as if there's nothing to it at all, and if it goes ill with them in one place they simply pick up and move along to another."
Author: Margaret Atwood

35. "Without rich people who want it done now, who would animate the free world? In theory, you want everyone to live peacefully according to their needs, along the banks of a river. In fact, you worry that you'd die of boredom there. In fact, you get a buzz from someone like Carole Potter, who keeps prize chickens and could teach a graduate course in landscaping; who maintains a staff of four (more in the summers, during High Guest Season); a handsome, slightly ridiculous husband; a beautiful daughter at Harvard and an incorrigible son doing something or other on Bondi Beach; Carole who is charming and self-deprecating and capable, if pushed, of a hostile indifference crueler than any form of rage; who reads novels and goes to movies and theater and yes, yes, bless her, buys art, serious art, about which she actually fucking knows a thing or two."
Author: Michael Cunningham

36. "You can't just boss bacteria around like that," said the younger Mrs. Hempstock. "They don't like it." "Stuff and silliness," said the old lady. "You leave wigglers alone and they'll be carrying on like anything. Show them who's boss and they can't do enough for you. You've tasted my cheese.."
Author: Neil Gaiman

Author: Nina D'Angelo

38. "Most well-known serial killers have victims numbering in the dozens, have sent taunting letters to the police or have done bizarre things to the bodies."
Author: Pat Brown

39. "One must know a bad performance to know a good one. You can't be middle-of-the-road about it, just as you can't be middle-of-the-road about life. I mean, you can't say about Hitler, I can take him or leave him. Well, I can't be middle-of-the-road about a performance, especially my own. I feel that if I can vomit at seeing a bad performance, I'm ahead of the game."
Author: Patricia Bosworth

40. "[Shahrazad] had perused the books, annals and legends of preceding Kings, and the stories, examples and instances of by gone men and things; indeed it was said that she had collected a thousand books of histories relating to antique races and departed rulers. She had perused the works of the poets and knew them by heart; she had studied philosophy and the sciences, arts and accomplishments; and she was pleasant and polite, wise and witty, well read and well bred."
Author: Richard Francis Burton

42. "C.J. had once believed that he understood who he was, what he was about, what he was capable of. But when the moment came to act upon these convictions, he discovered that his knowledge of self was faulty. Had his lack of killer instinct been a momentary lapse, first time jitters? Or was there more to it than that? If not the fearless, remorseless man he supposed himself to be, then just who was he?"
Author: Roy L. Pickering Jr.

43. "The owner of the store was a Hungarian woman named Jules. I hadn't started the conversation with her, rather she invited herself to sit with me one day. I didn't want to be rude so I let her babble on about herself. It turned out she was a Reiki healer. Her coffee shop was also a bookstore and a studio for her healing sessions. She explained the fundamentals of being a healer by allowing the energy to flow through her hands, power she called upon from the Universe. She was a bit eccentric but I really liked her from the few times I had spoken with her. And she was the closest thing to a friend I had. Sad, I know."
Author: Shawnda Currie

Author: Steven Pressfield

Author: Timothy Keller

46. "Wait. Like an art museum, or are we talking a history museum? I could tolerate the dinosaur bones and war relics, but modern art will just give me a headache. A red dot on a white canvas isn't ‘a representation of a woman's struggle in a male dominated society;' it's a red freakin' circle!" Michael and Ryan nodded their heads in agreement with Jack's artistic tirade."
Author: Victoria Michaels

47. "L'homme n'est fait pas pour travailler, la preuve c'est que cela le fatigue."
Author: Voltaire

48. "Some of the most memorable, and least regrettable, nights of my own youth were spent in coon hunting with farmers. There is no denying that these activities contributed to the economy of farm households, but a further fact is that they were pleasures; they were wilderness pleasures, not greatly different from the pleasures pursued by conservationists and wilderness lovers. As I was always aware, my friends the coon hunters were not motivated just by the wish to tree coons and listen to hounds and listen to each other, all of which were sufficiently attractive; they were coon hunters also because they wanted to be afoot in the woods at night. Most of the farmers I have known, and certainly the most interesting ones, have had the capacity to ramble about outdoors for the mere happiness of it, alert to the doings of the creatures, amused by the sight of a fox catching grasshoppers, or by the puzzle of wild tracks in the snow."
Author: Wendell Berry

49. "I'm discovering that once somebody physically moves out of your life, it's impossible for things not to change no matter how hard you try to keep them the same. The place you keep in your heart for that person is always there but it gets smaller and smaller, and I just moved my dad from a spacious loft to a cramped studio. The fact is, he has to make room in his heart for a new baby, and I suspect the place in his heart for me will get smaller too. How could it not?"
Author: Yvonne Prinz

50. "She felt the essence of herself pulled finer and smaller like those streams of spun glass that pull and stretch till there remains but a glimmering illusion. Neither falling nor breaking, the stream spins finer. She felt herself very small and ecstatic. Alabama was in love."
Author: Zelda Fitzgerald
