Hindistan dogumlu Ingiliz yazar Terence Hanbury ‘Tim’ White’in dogum yildonumu (29 Mayis 1906)
"Unutkanligin nimeti: ilk gereklilik buydu. Birinin yaptigi ya da babalarinin yaptiklari her sey Olumcul Isler dizisi kanli bir sekilde ortaya cikmaya mahkum edildi, o zaman gecmis yikilmali ve yeni bir baslangic yapilmalidir. Simdi ileri ve geri yasamak yerine hatirlamadan taze baslayalim ayni zamanda. Gecmisten istifade ederek gelecegi insa edemeyiz."
“The blessing of forgetfulness: that was the first essential. If everything one did, or which one's fathers had done, was an endless sequence of Doings doomed to break forth bloodily, then the past must be obliterated and a new start made. Let us now start fresh without remembrance, rather than live forward and backward at the same time. We cannot build the future by avenging the past.”
''Yaslanabilir ve fiziksel olarak titreyebilirsin, damarlarindaki bozulmalari dinlemek icin gece uyanik kalabilir, tek askini ozleyebilirsin, dunyanin kotucul deliler tarafindan harap edildigini gorebilir ya da onurunuzun zihnin alt kanallarinda boguldugunu fark edebilirsin. Oyleyken bile tek bir sey gecerlidir; ogrenmek. Dunyanin neden sallandigini ya da onu neyin salladigini ogren. Zihnin asla yorulmadigi, uzaklasmadigi, iskence edilemedigi, korkmadigi ya da suphe duymadigi ve pisman olmayi hic hayal etmedigi tek sey ogrenmektir.''
"You may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie awake at night listening to the disorder of your veins, you may miss your only love, you may see the world about you devastated by evil lunatics, or know your honour trampled in the sewers of baser minds. There is only one thing for it then — to learn. Learn why the world wags and what wags it. That is the only thing which the mind can never exhaust, never alienate, never be tortured by, never fear or distrust, and never dream of regretting.”
