The sight of snow made her think how beautiful and short life is and how, in spite of all their enmities, people have so very much in common; measured against eternity and the greatness of creation, the world in which they lived was narrow. That's why snow drew people together. It was as if snow cast a veil over hatreds, greed, and wrath and made everyone feel close to one another.

Orhan Pamuk

Orhan Pamuk

Orhan Pamuk

The snow reminded me of the beauty and mystery of creation, of the essential joy that is life.
