Amerikali roman ve kisa oyku yazari Jess Walter’in dogum gunu (20 Temmuz 1965)
“Inancin varmis gibi davran, inanc sana verilecektir. Shane bu felsefeyle lisede mesafe kosucusuymus gibi davrandi, iki odul aldi. Tam not ogrencisi gibi davrandi, isi kivirdi. Amigo kizlardan biri kanatlarinin altındaymis gibi davrandi, kiz onu dansa davet etti. Kaliforniya, Berkeley icin en kuvvetli adaymis gibi davrandi, oraya girdi. Italyanca konusuyormus gibi yapti, bir yil yurt disinda egitim gordu. Yazarmis gibi yapti, Arizona Universitesi’nin MFA yaratici yazi programina kabul edildi. Asikmis gibi yapti, evlendi.”
“So in high school, Shane acted as if he were a distance runner and lettered twice, acted as if he were an A student and pulled them, acted as if a certain cheerleader was in his wheelhouse and she asked him to a dance, acted as if he were a shooin for California, Berkeley and got in and for Sigma Nu and they pledged him, acted as if he acted as if he spoke Italian and studied abroad for a year, acted as if he were a writer and got accepted to the University of Arizona's MFA creative writing program, acted as if he were in love and got married.”
“Hikayeler insanlardir. ben bir hikayeyim, sen bir hikayesin... baban bir hikaye. hikayelerimiz her yone dogru gider,bazen de, sansimiz varsa, hikayelerimiz birlesip tek bir hikayeye donusur ve biz, bir sureligine, daha az yalniz oluruz.”
“Stories are people. I'm a story, you're a story . . . your father is a story. Our stories go in every direction, but sometimes, if we're lucky, our stories **** into one, and for a while, we're less alone.”
