“Sevmek bir anlamda senden olmayana ulaşmak, bunun için çabalamak değil midir? Senden farklı olmayan birine niye ulaşmaya çalışasın ki?”
Ahmet Ümit, Bab-ı Esrar

“Birini çok seversen, ama sahiden seversen, sana ne yapmış olursa olsun, eninde sonunda mutlaka bağışlanırsın.”
Ahmet Ümit, Bab-ı Esrar

“You know about the Mother Goddess - the first female god, a fat woman with a lion on one side and a child between her legs. She was the first god of humankind.
Do you know why than ancient people of Anatolia chose her as their god? Because men were not aware of their roles as impregnators. They thought that it was the wind, the rain, the rivers, in short, nature, that impregnated women. And this was not at all a strange idea at the time. People viewed themselves as part of nature. They thought birth was magic, a miracle.”
Ahmet Ümit, Patasana
