Quotes by Ahmed Midhat Efendi (?)

“Evet! Ben de okudum. Flammarion'ları da okudum, Faguet'leri de! Darwin'leri de okudum. Descartes'ları da! Schopenhauer'ları, Bunchner'leri bile okudum.

İnkâr olunan benliğimi bulmak için dosta da sordum, düşmana da.”
― Ahmet Midhat Efendi

“Felâtun: -Fakat birâder ben bu derslerin içinde bazı şeyler görüyorum da bir mana veremiyorum. Ezcümle şu elifbada, bu pe, çe, je harfleri var mı ya? Biz mektepte iken elif, be, te, se, cim, ha, hı, dal, zal, rı, ze, sin, şın diye okuduk. Bunları görmedik. Bunlara ne isim vermeli?

Can Ziklas: -Evet muallim efendi! Felâtun Efendi öyle söyledi. Bizim zihnimiz şaşırdı.

Râkım: -Hayır Efendim! Bunda zihin şaşıracak bir şey yok. Felâtun Beyefendi ra’nâ bilirler ama birdenbire zihinlerine gelmedi. Vâkıâ beyim, mektepte biz buyurduğunuz gibi okuduk. Ama bizim okuduğumuz elifba yalnız Arapça içindir. Türkçe için ise ondan fazla birkaç harfe ihtiyacımız vardır. Meselâ “paşa, çavuş, müjde” yazacağımız zaman nasıl yazarız? Elbette bu harflere muhtaç olmaz mıyız?”
