“Din străfundul inimii mele,spiritul meu a strigat:"Strălucește,Constantinopole,strălucește pentru ultima dată!Strălucește cu lumina ta sfântă!O mie de ani de amaruri ți-au îmipietrit sufletul.Dar încă o dată,cu ultimele tale tale picături de ulei sfânt,fă să țășnescă din piatră,sufletul tău!Așază-ți pe cap cununa de spini a lui Hristos !Inveșmântează-te in purpura!In pragul nopții ce va să fie,fii demn de tine,Constantinopole,orașul meu!”
― Mika Waltari

“I was happy, I knew that. While experiencing happiness, we have difficulty in being conscious of it. Only when the happiness is past and we look back on it do we suddenly realize - sometimes with astonishment - how happy we had been.”
― Nikos Kazantzakis, Zorba the Greek
