...in a brutal country like ours where human life is cheap, it's stupid to destroy yourself for the sake of your beliefs. Beliefs, high ideals--only people living in rich countries can enjoy such luxuries.'

'Actually, it's the other way round. In a poor country the only consolation people can have is the one that comes from their beliefs.

U mašti mi je sve zanimljivo, atraktivno i stvarno. Počeo sam da od celog ovog poznatog sveta stvaram jedan novi. Da bih mogao dobro da pišem, treba da mi je dobrano dosadno; da bi mi bilo dobrano dosadno, treba da uđem u život.

Kad sam bio dete, dve nedelje po prolasku jata roda, s tugom bismo se vraćali brodom u Istanbul.
