Rus asilli Amerikali romanci, filozof, oyun yazari ve senarist Ayn Rand'in (Alisa Zinov'yevna Rosenbaum) olum yildonumu (6 Mart 1982)

"Artik, insanlar arasindan arkadaslar sececegim. Ama arkadaslar, koleler veya efendiler degil. Gonlumun istedigini sececegim ve sectiklerimi sevip onlara hurmet etmesini bilecegim. Arzularimiz mevcut oldugu zaman ve arzularimizin devami suresince; el SIKISACAGIZ, el ele tutusacagiz, Karsilikli arzularimiz mevcut oldugu zaman ve arzularimizin devami suresince yan yana ve yalniz olacagiz Insanlarin mukaddes mabetlerinin kutsal esiginden iceri, onlara ragmen adim atmayin." Ben (Ego)



"I shall choose friends among men, but neither slaves nor masters. And I shall choose only such as please me, and them I shall love and respect, but neither command nor obey. And we shall attend our hands when we wish, or walk alone when we so desire. For in the temple of his spirit, each man is alone. Let each man keep his temple untouched and undefiled. Then let him attend hands with others if he wishes, but only beyond his holy threshold."�

"Sevgisinin cogaldigini gordukce Petra Cotes de git gide onu daha cok sevdi ve omrunun son baharinda iki gonul bir olunca samanligin seyran olacagina bir kez daha inanmaya basladi. Ikisi de gecmisteki taskinliklara, o koca servete ve dizginlerinden bosanmis sevinmelerine birer gereksizlik, birer bas belasi olarak bakmaya ve paylasilmis yalnizlik cennetini bulabilmek icin omurlerinin onca yilini heder ettiklerine yanmaya basladilar. Yillar yili kisir bir karmasa icinde yasadiktan sonra cilginca asik olarak birbirlerini yatakta oldugu kadar masa basinda da sevebilmek mucizesinin tadini cikarmaya koyuldular. Giderek oyle mutlu oldular ki isi bitmis iki pinpon olduklarinda bile cocuklar gibi cosmaktan ve kopek yavrulari gibi oynasmaktan geri kalmadilar." Gabriel García Márquez, Yuzyillik Yalnizlik



"He dug so deeply into her sentiments that in search of interest he found love, because by trying to make her love him he ended up falling in love with her. Petra Cotes, for her part, loved him more and more as she felt his love increasing, and that was how in the ripeness of autumn she began to believe once more in the youthful superstition that poverty was the servitude of love. Both looked back then on the wild revelry, the gaudy wealth, and the unbridled fornication as an annoyance and they lamented that it had cost them so much of their lives to find the paradise of shared solitude. Madly in love after so many years of sterile complicity, they enjoyed the miracle of living each other as much at the table as in bed, and they grew to be so happy that even when they were two worn-out people they kept on blooming like little children and playing together like dogs."

“Insan icin zevk almak bir luks degil, fakat onemli bir psikolojik ihtiyactir. Zevk almak, (terimin en genis anlamiyla) yasamin kendinde var olan metafizik bir ozelliktir, basarili davranisin odulu ve sonucudur; tipki agrinin basarisizligin, yikilisin, olumun isareti olmasi gibi. Insan hoslanarak hayatin degerini, hayatin yasamaya, devam etme mucadelesine deger oldugu hissini yasar. Yasamak icin, insanin degerler basaracak sekilde yasamasi gerekir. Zevk alma veya hoslanma hem basarili faaliyet icin duygusal bir odul ve hem de faaliyete devam etme yonunde bir tesviktir.” Ayn Rand, Bencilligin Erdemi



“Pleasure, for man, is not a luxury, but a profound psychological need. Pleasure (in the widest sense of the term) is a metaphysical concomitant of life, the reward and consequence of successful action—just as pain is the insignia of failure, destruction, death. Through the state of enjoyment, man experiences the value of life, the sense that life is worth living, worth struggling to maintain. In order to live, man must act to achieve values. Pleasure or enjoyment is at once an emotional payment for successful action and an incentive to continue acting.”

Beni ilk optugunde yalniz, yazi yazdigim bu elin
Parmaklarindan aldi opucugu;
Ve o zamandan beri elim daha beyaz ve daha temiz,
Dunya-selamlarina cevap vermekte yavas, melekler
Konustugu zaman ‘Aman dinle’yle,’ cabuk.
Bir yuzuk takamazdim oraya Ametistden, daha guzel gorunen,
O ilk opucukten. Ikincisi birincisini gecti yukseklikten ve
Arayip bulmaya calisti alni ve kacirdi yarisini,
Obur yarisi sacin ustune dustu. Hediyenin otesindeydi o!
Kutsal ask yagiydi, askin kendi taci,
Onde gelen gunahlar temizleyen tatliliktan.
Ucuncusu dudaklarimin uzerinde katlandi
Mukemmel mor haliyle; o zamandan beri, gercek olan
Gururu duydum ve dedim, ‘Benim Sevgilim, kendimin.’

“…bir gun Bayardo San Roman, salondaki salincakli sandalyede ogle uykusunu uyurken, Angela Vicario'yla annesi, ellerinde yapma cicekler dolu birer sepetle meydandan geciyorlardı. Bayardo San Roman, gozlerini aralamis, ogle sonrasi saat ikideki durgunlugun ortasinda sanki tek canli varliklarmis gibi gorunen, acimasiz kapkara giysileri icindeki o iki kadini gorerek, gencinin kim oldugunu sormustu. Pansiyon sahibesi de, yanindaki kadinin kucuk kizi oldugu, adinin da Angela Vicario oldugu yanitini vermisti. Bayardo San Roman, ta meydanın obur ucuna kadar bakislariyla izlemisti onlari.

‘Adini iyi koymuslar.’demisti.

Sonra da basini salincakli sandalyenin arkasina dayamis, gozlerini yeniden yummustu.

‘Uyandigimda,’ demisti, ’onunla evlenecegimi bana hatirlatin." Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Kirmizi Pazartesi



“…where Bayardo San Roman lived told of how he'd been napping in a rocking chair in the parlour toward, when Angela Vicario and her mother crossed the square carrying two baskets of artificial flowers. Bayardo San Roman half-awoke, saw the two women dressed in the unforgiving black worn by the only living creatures in the morass of two o'clock in the afternoon, and asked who the young one was. The landlady answered him that she was the youngest daughter of the woman with her and that her name was Angela Vicario. Bayardo San Roman followed them with his look to the other side of the square.

‘She's well-named,’ he said.

Then he rested his head on the back of the rocker and closed his eyes again.

‘When I wake up,’ he said, ‘remind me that I'm going to marry her."

“Benim en yuksek emellerim uzakta, gunesin isiklarindadir. Onlara ulasamayabilirim; ama basimi kaldirip onlara bakabilir ve guzelliklerini gorebilir, onlara inanabilir ve peslerinden gitmeye cabalayabilirim.” Louisa May Alcott

“Hile yapan, yalan soyleyen, ama gorunuste sayginmis gibi davranan adam. O aslinda kendisinin namussuz oldugunu biliyor, ama baskalari onu namuslu sandigi icin, cevreden bir saygi topluyor, oradan kendine elden dusme bir oz saygi cikariyor.” Ayn Rand, Hayatin Kaynagi



“The man who cheats and lies, but preserves a respectable front. He knows himself to be dishonest, but others think he's honest and he derives his self-respect from that, second-hand.”
