Filistin-Ingiliz asilli Amerikan vatandasi karsilastirmali edebiyat profesoru ve teorisyen Edward W. Said’in dogum yildonumu (1 Kasim 1935)

“Insan salt ozel alanda kalarak entelektuel olamaz, zira sozcukleri kagida dokup yayimladiginiz anda kamusal dunyaya girmissiniz demektir. Salt kamusal alana ait, sadece bir hareket, dava ya da konumun sozcusu veya simgesi olan bir entelektuel de olamaz. Sahsi tini, kisiye ozgu duyarlilik diye bir sey vardir; soylenen ya da yazilan seylere de bu anlam verir. Hele bir entelektuelin dinleyicileri mutlu etmesi diye bir sey soz konusu olamaz; isin ozu SIKINTI verici, aykiri, hatta keyif kacirici olmaktir.”



“There is no such thing as a private intellectual, since the moment you set down words and then publish them you have entered the public world. Nor is there only a public intellectual, someone who exists just as a figurehead or spokesperson or symbol of a cause, movement, or position. There is always the personal inflection and the private sensibility, and those give meaning to what is being said or written. Least of all should an intellectual be there to make his or her audiences feel good: the whole point is to be embarrassing, contrary, even unpleasant.”

Cezayir dogumlu Fransiz ekonomist, yazar ve siyasetci Jacques Attali'nin dogum gunu (1 Kasim 1943)



"Muzik bir ayna, bir kristal kure, insanoglunun yaptiklarini kaydeden bir yuzey, bir eksikligin isareti, bir utopya parcasi, her dinleyicinin kendi duygularini kaydettigi hususi bir bellek, bir anamnez, duzenin ve soyagaclarinin ortak hafizasidir; ne ozerk bir etkinlik ne de ekonomik altyapinin bir urunudur. O, halklarin ve sanatcilarin, insanlarin ve tanrilarin, senliklerin ve dualarin urunudur." Gurultuden Muzige



"Miroir et boule de cristal, surface d'enregistrement de l'oeuvre des humains, marque d'un manque, morceau d'utopie, mémoire privée où chaque auditeur enregistre ses propres sensations, anamnèse, mémoire collective de l'ordre et des généalogies, elle n'est ni une activité autonome, ni une conséquence de l'infrastructure économique; elle vient des peuples et des artistes, des hommes et des dieux, des fêtes et des prières."

Amerikali yazar, hatip, kisisel gelisimci ve kisiler arasi iletisim uzmani Dale Carnegie'nin olum yildonumu (1 Kasim 1955)

''Yasam denilen olgu ne garip, degil mi? Kucuk cocuk 'ben buyuyunceder.Biraz daha buyudugunde 'Evlendigim zaman' der.Evlenince ne olacak? O zaman soyle dusunecek: 'Emekli olunca.' Emekli oldugunda, soyle geriye doner, gectigi yollar; sanki o yolun uzerinde soguk bir ruzgar esiyor gibidir, hicbir seyden yararlanamamis, her sey gecip gitmistir.Yasam, yasadigimiz andadir, her gun yasamakta, ama biz bunu gec ogreniyoruz. ''



“The child says, ‘When I am a big boy.’ But what is that? The big boy says, ‘When I grow up.’ And then, grown up, he says, ‘When I get married.’ But to be married, what is that after all? The thought changes to ‘When I’m able to retire.’ And then, when retirement comes, he looks back over the landscape traversed; a cold wind seems to sweep over it; somehow he has missed it all, and it is gone. Life, we learn too late, is in the living, in the tissue of every day and hour.”



"Hayatini bir kum saati olarak gormeni istiyorum. Biliyorsun, kum saatinin tepesinde binlerce kum tanecigi vardir. Bunlar saatin ince boynundan yavasca gecerler. Ne yaparsak yapalim, birden fazla kum taneciginin saate zarar vermeden bu ince boyundan gecmesini saglayamayiz. Bizde bu kum saatine benziyoruz. Her sabah uyandigimizda o gun yapmamiz gereken yuzlerce is oldugunu biliriz. Bunlari birer birer yapmazsak, tipki kum saatinin boynundan gecen kumlar gibi gunun icinden yavas yavas gecmelerini saglamazsak, fiziksel ve ruhsal dengemiz bozulur."



"Think of your life as an hourglass. You know there are thousands of grains of sand in the top of the hourglass; and they all pass slowly and evenly through the narrow neck in the middle. Nothing you or I could do would make more than one grain of sand pass through this narrow neck without impairing the hourglass. You and I and everyone else are like this hourglass...if we do not take [tasks] one at a time and let them pass...slowly and evenly, then we are bound to break our own...structure.”

Turk sair, yazar, siyasetci ve diplomat Yahya Kemal Beyatli'nin (Ahmet Agah) olum yildonumu (1 Kasim 1958)



If there comes a time to raise anchor from time, one day more,
A ship will set out from this harbor toward an unknown shore.
It makes way silently, as though it held no living soul;
At that unrocking parting no hand waves as the lines unroll.
Those watching from the wharf are all aching from this journey;
Their eyes sting from holding the black horizon so firmly.
Wretched hearts! What last ship leaving from the homeland is this?
And what deep mourning for a life spent in exile is this?
The loved and the lowing will wait in vain in the world here;
They do not know the belowed will never reappear.
Each of the many who are going are happy they could spend
A number of years here; the passengers never descend.
