Charles Dickens, Bir Noel Sarkisi (A Christmas Carol) kitabini 17 Aralik 1843’de Chapman & Hall yayinevi araciligiya yayinladi.

“Bazilari ondaki degisimi gordukce guldu; ama Scrooge onlarin gulmesine ses etmedi, onlari pek de onemsemedi. Zira bu dunyada, bazi insanlarin en basta doyasiya gulmedigi hicbir seyin kalici olmayacagini bilecek kadar gormus gecirmisti; boylelerinin zaten kor oldugunu da bildiginden, goze bu kadar hos gorunemeyecek sekillerde gelen dertlerdense, siritarak gozlerini kiristirmalarinin onlar hakkinda daha hayirli olacagini dusunuyordu. Kendi kalbi guluyordu ve bu onun icin gayet yeterliydi.”



“Some people laughed to see the alteration in him, but Scrooge let them laugh, and little heeded them; for he was wise enough to know that nothing ever happened on this globe, for good, at which some people did not have their fill of laughter in the outset; and knowing that such as these would be blind anyway, he thought it quite as well that they should wrinkle up their eyes in grins, as have the malady in less attractive forms. His own heart laughed: and that was quite enough for him.”




Guzel gelin, `Fred, dayin cok zengin olsa gerek,’ dedi. `Daha dogrusu sen hep oyle dersin de.’

Kocasi, `Ne cikar bundan, sevgilim! ’ dedi. "Parasi hicbir ise yaramiyor ki! Iyilik yapmaya harcamiyor, daha rahat yasamak icin de kullanmiyor. Hele bu parayla bizi sevindirmenin kendisine nasil buyuk bir mutluluk verecegini aklinin ucundan bile gecirmiyor! ’

Karısi, `Uf, cok kiziyorum bu adama! ’ dedi. Orada olan kardesleriyle obur konuklar da ayni dusunceyi belirttiler.

Yegen, `Yok, ben kizmiyorum,’ dedi. `Aciyorum ona, istesem de kizamam. Huysuzlugun, kotu yureginin zararini kim cekiyor: Kendisi! Iste, ornegin, ille bizden hoslanmamayi kafasina koymus, bu yuzden gelip soframiza oturmuyor. O zaman ne oluyor? ’

Karisi, `Cok guzel bir yemekten yoksun kaliyor.’ dedi.



`I’m sure he is very rich, Fred,’ Fred's beautiful bride confesses. `At least you always tell me so.’

`What of that, my dear.’ said Scrooge’s nephew. `His wealth is of no use to him. He don’t do any good with it. He don’t make himself comfortable with it. He hasn’t the satisfaction of thinking -- ha, ha, ha. -- that he is ever going to benefit us with it.’

`I have no patience with him,’ observed Scrooge’s niece. Scrooge’s niece’s sisters, and all the other ladies, expressed the same opinion.

`Oh, I have.’ said Scrooge’s nephew. `I am sorry for him; I couldn’t be angry with him if I tried. Who suffers by his ill whims. Himself, always. Here, he takes it into his head to dislike us, and he won’t come and dine with us. What’s the consequence. He don’t lose much of a dinner.’

`Indeed, I think he loses a very good dinner,’ interrupted Scrooge’s niece.

Ingiliz roman yazari, sair, elestirmen ve dergi editoru Ford Madox Ford’un dogum yil donumu (17 Aralik 1873)

"Hicbir sey -su dunyada hicbir sey- bilmiyorum insan yuregine dair. Yapayalniz oldugumu biliyorum bir tek- korkunc yalniz. Hicbir somine basi bir daha benim dostca iliskime taniklik etmeyecek. Butun sigara odalari bir daha benim icin duman celenkleri arasinda sayisiz hayaletlerden olusmus bir kalabaliktan baska sey olmayacak. Oysa, Tanri askina, butun omrum bu yerlerde gectigine gore somine basindaki, sigara odasindaki omru tanimiyorsam neyi taniyabilirim ben?"



“I know nothing--nothing in the world--of the hearts of men. I only know that I am alone--horribly alone. No hearthstone will ever again witness, for me, friendly intercourse. No smoking-room will ever be other than peopled with incalculable simulacra amidst smoke wreaths. Yet, in the name of God, what should I know if I don't know the life of the hearth and of the smoking-room, since my whole life has been passed in those places?”



"Duydugum en acikli hikaye bu. Ashburnhamlari Nauheim kentinde son dokuz mevsimdir oldukca yakindan- ya da hem yarim yamalak ve ustunkoru hem de elinize giydiginiz guzel bir eldiven kadar yakin bir ahbapligimiz vardi diyelim- taniyorduk. Esimle ben, Yuzbasi ve Bayan Ashburnham'i insanlari ne kadar taniyabilirseniz o kadar taniyorduk ve gene de baska bir acidan dusununce, kendileriyle alakali hiçbir sey bilmiyorduk."



“This is the saddest story I have ever heard. We had known the Ashburnhams for nine seasons of the town of Nauheim with an extreme intimacy – or, rather, with an acquaintanceship as loose and easy and yet as close as a good glove’s with your hand. My wife and I knew Captain and Mrs. Ashburnham as well as it was possible to know anybody, and yet, in another sense, we knew nothing at all about them.”

Amerikali roman ve kisa oyku yazari Erskine (Preston) Caldwell'in dogum yildonumu (17 Aralik 1903)

"Iyi din ogutculeri Tanri'dan yana, cennetten yana falan konusmazlar. Hep bir seye karsi durum alirlar; diyelim, cehenneme karsi, seytana karsi. Karsi cikilacak seylerdir bunlar. Tanri'dan yana konusmak olmaz bir din ogutcusu icin. Ille seytana karsi, butun kotu seylere, gunah islere karsi konusacak. Ahali de iste bunlari dinlemekten hoslanir. Kotu seylerden soz edilmesini ıster." Tutun Yolu



“Good preachers don’t preach about God and heaven, and things like that. They always preach against something, like hell and the devil. Them is things to be against. It wouldn’t do a preacher no good to preach for God. He’s got to preach against the devil and all wicked and sinful things. That’s what the people like to hear about. They want to hear about the bad things.”



"Bir erkek eve kadin getirdi mi, sekiz oda da olsa, on iki oda da olsa, evi onun yasayamayacagi kadar kucuk bir yer oluverir." Sicak Nehir (Oyku)



"Just as soon as a man brings home a woman, his house is too small a space for him to live in, eight rooms or twelve rooms."

Olumunden sonra, 1981 yilinda Pulitzer Odulu'nu kazanan Amerikali roman yazari John Kennedy Toole’un dogum yildonumu (17 Aralik 1937)

"Bu kent cagdas dunyanin ahlaksizlik baskentiyken polisin beni rahatsiz etmekten baska isi yok mu?" Ignatius magazanin onundeki kalabaliga dogru bagirarak konusmustu. "Bu kent kumarbazlari, fahiseleri, teshircileri, alkolikleri, escinselleri, uyusturucu bagimlilari, tapinmacilari, sapiklari, acik sacik film oynaticilari, dolandiricilari, yasli ******lari, kamuya acik yerleri kirletenleri ve sevici kadinlariyla unludur; hepsi de verdikleri rusvetlerle gayet guzel korunurlar. Zamaniniz varsa sizinle suc sorunun uzerinde derinlesmek isterim, ama sakin beni rahatsiz etme hatasina dusmeyin." Aliklar Birligi



“Is it the part of the police department to harass me when this city is a flagrant vice capital of the civilized world?" Ignatius bellowed over the crowd in front of the store. "This city is famous for its gamblers, prostitutes, exhibitionists, alcoholics, sodomites, drug addicts, fetishists, onanists, pornographers, frauds, jades, litterbugs, and lesbians, all of whom are only too well protected by graft. If you have a moment, I shall endeavor to discuss the crime problems with you, but don't make the mistake of bothering me.”



“Bati dunyasinin duzen, huzur, birlik, Gercek Tanrisi'yla ve ucluyle birlesmek gibi cesitli nimetlerden yararlanmasinin ardindan yakin gelecekteki kotu gunlerin habercisi olan degisim ruzgarlari esmeye basladi. Abelard, Thomas à Beckett ve Everyman'in aydinlattigi yillar kararmisti. Fortuna'nin (Sans Tanricasi) carki insanlara sirt cevirdi, insanlarin koprucuk kemigini kirdi, kafatasini ezdi, bedenini burdu, legen kemigini un ufak etti, ruhunu kederle doldurdu. Bir zamanlar oylesine yuce olan insanlik tepetaklak olmustu. Eskiden ruha adanmis olan sey simdi satisa sunulmustu.”



“After a period in which the western world had enjoyed order, tranquility, unity, and oneness with its True God and Trinity, there appeared winds of change which spelled evil days ahead. An ill wind blows no one good. The luminous years of Abelard, Thomas à Beckett, and Everyman dimmed into dross; Fortuna's wheel had turned on humanity, crushing its collarbone, smashing its skull, twisting its torso, puncturing its pelvis, sorrowing its soul. Having once been so high, humanity fell so low. What had once been dedicated to the soul was now dedicated to the sale.”
