Caroline Finkel
To understand those who are culturally and historically different from us – rather than resorting to such labels as ‘evil empire’, ‘fundamentalist’ and ‘terrorist’ to mask our ignorance – is a matter of urgency. The greatest hubris is to ask why ‘they’ are not like ‘us’, to accept our cultural biases lazily and without question, and to frame the problem in terms of ‘what went wrong?
Caroline Finkel, Osman's Dream: The History of the Ottoman Empire

Biz Selçukluların torunuyuz. Evet, kaybettik ama tüm Karaman topraklarına bizim diyebiliyor musun? Peki Amasya’ya benim diyebiliyor musun? Bizim topraklarımızda attığın adımlara dikkat edesin, Osmanoğlu. Bir gün yolun düşerse, kendini hazırla.
Deniz Canan, Larende'nin Düşüşü
