Quotes by Mehmet Murat Somer (?)

“I could have gone into the philosophy and history of cross-dressing, expounding my own views and feelings on the subject, bringing up the fact that not a few straight men get a kick out of wearing silky panties, heels, and nail polish, not to mention that some women, too, choose to dress in masculine clothing on occasion, among them Marlene Dietrich and George Sand... But I couldn't be bothered.”
― Mehmet Murat Somer, The Gigolo Murder: A Turkish Delight Mystery

“You know, there are some people who want something, crave it even, but they're too proud to admit it, even to themselves. Then they despise, or belittle, or harm whatever it is. Almost as though mocking the object of their desire will stop them from wanting it. Do you get what I mean, sweetie?”

“It's said that within every story there's a vacuum just waiting to be filled with fantasies and fabrications.”
