Quote by Orhan Pamuk
Sometimes I would see them not as mementos of the blissful hours but as the tangible precious debris of the storm raging in my soul.
Summary
This quote reflects a perspective shift in which the speaker sees certain objects or memories not only as reminders of happy times, but also as remnants of internal turmoil. It suggests that the speaker's soul is in constant turmoil, and these mementos serve as physical evidence of the emotional storm that rages within them. Despite the ostensibly positive nature of these objects, they can also represent the conflicted states of their soul, contrasting the external appearance with the internal struggles they experience.
