"...words (and the words of literature they make) are like water or like ants. Nothing can penetrate into the cracks, holes ad invisible gaps of life as fast or as thoroughly as words can.
It is in these cracks that the essence of things - the things that make us curious about life, about the world - can first be ascertained and it is good literature that first reveals them. "

"There are two kind of men,' said Ka, in a didatic voice. 'The first kind does not fall in love until he's seen how the girls eats a sandwich, how she combs her hair, what sort of nonsense she cares about, why she's angry at her father, and what sort of stories people tell about her. The second type of man -- and I am in this category -- can fall in love with a woman only if he knows next to nothing about her." By orhan Pamuk

"Try to discover who I am from my choice of words and colors, as attentive people like yourselves might examine footprints to catch a thief."
