“İçimizde şeytan var... Can kırıkları var. Nefret var, yalanlar var... Bir yanımız bizi çoktan terk etmiş, kaçıyor... Melankoli ve hüsran var...”
― Sabahattin Ali, İçimizdeki Şeytan

“The wars will end and the leaders will shake hands, and that old woman will remain waiting for her martyred son, and that girl will wait for her beloved husband, and the children will wait for their heroic father, I do not know who sold the homeland but I know who paid the price.”

“judges, police officers, doctors—in course of time, through habit, grow so callous that they cannot, even if they wish it, take any but a formal attitude to their clients; in this respect they are not different from the peasant who slaughters sheep and calves in the back-yard, and does not notice the blood.”
― Anton Chekhov, Best Short Stories of Anton Chekov
