But Let Us Not Forget That Cities

I See Two Opposite Tendencies In Turkish Society: People Feel Demoralized, They Lose The Interest In Politics And Retreat To Their Private Lives; Or They Become Very Angry And Even More Politicized, And Radicalized. Both Trends Are Troublesome.

The Past Lives Within The Present, And Our Ancestors Breathe Through Our Children.

Where There Is Love, There Is Bound To Be Heartache.

Father, I Am From A Different Egg Than Your Other Children. Think Of Me As A Duckling Raised By Hens. I Am Not A Domestic Bird Destined To Spend His Life In A Chicken Coop. The Water That Scares You Rejuvenates Me. For Unlike You I Can Swim, And Swim I Shall. The Ocean Is My Homeland. If You Are With Me, Come To The Ocean. If Not, Stop Interfering With Me And Go Back To The Chicken Coop.

Hell Is In The Here And Now. So Is Heaven. Quit Worrying About Hell Or Dreaming About Heaven, As They Are Both Present Inside Us This Very Moment. Every Time We Fall In Love, We Ascend To Heaven. Every Time We Hate, Envy, Or Fight Someone, We Tumble Straight Into The Fires Of Hell.
