“I don't know about you, the world is here to be mythologized. It has, therefore, no other end. Transforming into myth, to be a myth! That's what we call eternity.”
Ilhan Berk

“What is time
a November leaf
a child's vacillating mouth
a rose
a left-over, half-drunk glass of water.”
Ilhan Berk

“Ne zaman ki dinlediğiniz şarkılar size onu hatırlatmaz; işte ancak o zaman hayattan bir tat alabilirsiniz .”
