In the most dangerous of times, those who escape and survive generally know people whom they can trust.

“girls
please give your
bodies and your
lives
to
the young men
who
deserve them

besides
there is
no way
I would welcome
the
intolerable
dull
senseless hell
you would bring
me

and
I wish you
luck
in bed
and
out

but not
in
mine

thank
you.”

“İstanbul'da insanların tek amacı İstanbul'un tadını çıkarmak gibi görünüyor. Avına dişlerini geçirmeye çalışan yırtıcı hayvanlara benziyorlar. Ankara'ya istesen de dişini geçiremezsin, bir sürü üst geçit var." Metin ile birlikte bu şakaya güldüler. Kapatırken Cemil şöyle dedi: "İstanbul'da gün boyu dolaşırken dünyanın haline üzüldüm. Ankara'da insan sadece Ankara'nın haline üzülüyor.”
― Barış Bıçakçı, Sinek Isırıklarının Müellifi
