Quote
In the morning, the sun is rosy, transparent, warm gold. And the air itself is a little rosy, all steeped in the sun's gentle blood. Everything is alive: stones are living and soft; iron is living and warm....
Yevgeny Zamyatin, We (trans. Natasha Randall)

mc in a dystopia novel is always either a tomboyish teenage girl who is in some way extraordinary or a tired middle aged man who somehow ran across a manic pixie with ties to la resistance and just fell in love on spot.

Humility is a virtue, and pride a vice; “we” is from god, and “I” from the devil.

I am imprudent, I am sick, I have a soul, I am a microbe. But what if blooming is a sickness? What if it is painful when a bud bursts?

“An idea hit me: The way the human body is built, it’s just as stupid as those ‘apartments’ — human heads are opaque and there’s no way to see inside except through those tiny little windows, the eyes.”
— Yevgeny Zamyatin, from We (1924)

"Seni korkutuyor çünkü senden güçlü. Nefret ediyorsun çünkü korkuyorsun. Seviyorsun çünkü iplerini eline alamıyorsun. İnsan sadece köle edemediğini sever."

And something in me (not me) has a momentary thought: 'Can it be that everyone harbors the kind of pain that can be extracted only along with the heart, and that everyone has to do something before...?'
