Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi
“Forget safety. Live where you fear to live.”
Rumi

Sabahattin Ali
“For even the most wretched and simple-minded man could be a surprise, even a fool could have a soul whose torments were a constant source of amazement. Why are we so slow to see this, and why do we assume that it is the easiest thing in the world to know and judge another?”
Sabahattin Ali, Kürk Mantolu Madonna

Margaret Atwood
“They are hypocrites, they think the Church is a cage to keep God in, so he will stay locked up there and not go wandering about the earth during the week, poking his nose into their business, and looking in the depths and darkness and doubleness of their hearts, and their lack of true charity; and they believed they need only be bothered about him on Sundays when they have their best clothes on and their faces straight, and their hands washed and their gloves on, and their stories all prepared.”
Margaret Atwood, Alias Grace

Sabahattin Ali
“Some things we never know we need until we find them.”
Sabahattin Ali , Kürk Mantolu Madonna

Sabahattin Ali
“People can only get to know each other up to a point and then they make up the rest, until one day, seeing their mistake, they turn their backs on sadness and run away. Would this ever happen, if they stopped believing their dreams and made do with what was possible? If everyone accepted what was natural, then no one would suffer disappointment, no one would curse fate. We have every right to see our situation as pitiful, but we must confine our pity to ourselves. To pity another is to assume superiority and that is why we must never think we are superior to others, or that others are more unfortunate.”
Sabahattin Ali, Kürk Mantolu Madonna
