“Düşünceler insanı öldürebilir ama düşüncelerimiz uğruna ölmeye değer.”
“Sevdiği adamla evlenmeyi Zaza'ya yasakladılar. Genç kız kederinden sararıpsoldu, tıpkı amansız bir hastalığa yakalanmış gibi öldü bu dert yüzünden. Menenjit dendi. Yirmiyaşında aşktan ölünebileceğini saklamanın bir yolu bu muydu yoksa?”
