“Hard choices, easy life. Easy choices, hard life.”
― Jerzy Gregorek

“Gautama's insight was that no matter what the mind experiences, it usually reacts with craving, and craving always involves dissatisfaction. When the mind experiences something distasteful it craves to be rid of the irritation. When the mind experiences something pleasant, it craves that the pleasure will remain and will intensify. Therefore, the mind is always dissatisfied and restless. This is very clear when we experience unpleasant things, such as pain. As long as the pain continues, we are dissatisfied and do all we can to avoid it. Yet even when we experience pleasant things we are never content. We either fear that the pleasure might disappear, or we hope that it will intensify.”

“Münakaşada zafer, mağlup olanındır, yenilmek zenginleşmektir. …Münakaşa hakikati birlikte aramaktır… Hakikat bin bir cepheli, bin bir görünüşlü. Karşınızdaki, göremediğinizi gösterecek size. Sizden farklı düşündüğü ölçüde yaratıcı ve öğreticidir.”
― Cemil Meriç, Bu Ülke

“I loved you: and, it may be, from my soul
The former love has never gone away,
But let it not recall to you my dole;
I wish not sadden you in any way.

I loved you silently, without hope, fully,
In diffidence, in jealousy, in pain;
I loved you so tenderly and truly,
As let you else be loved by any man. ”
― Alexander Pushkin
