There’s something wonderful about Marvin Bileck’s minimal illustrations for All About the Stars.

You try to remember the places of your childhood, when suddenly you see the past approaching in a style of music you thought had long ceased to exist, when you realise many of the spirits within yourself which you believed had long since perished are still alive. — Abdülhak Şinasi Hisar, Geçmiş Zaman Köşkleri01.

I think it is unnatural to think that there is such a thing as a blue-sky, white-clouded happy childhood for anybody. Childhood is a very, very tricky business of surviving it. Because if one thing goes wrong or anything goes wrong, and usually something goes wrong, then you are compromised as a human being. You’re going to trip over that for a good part of your life.
