Nalan thought that one of the endless tragedies of human history was that pessimists were better at surviving than optimists, which meant that,
logically speaking, humanity carried the genes of people who did not believe in humanity.

Istanbul was a liquid city. Nothing was permanent here. Nothing felt settled. It all must have begun thousands of years ago when the ice sheets melted, the sea levels rose, the floodwaters surged, and all known ways of life were destroyed. The pessimists were the first to flee the area, probably; the optimists would have chosen to wait and see how things would turn out.

There was modern Istanbul – an urban sprawl overrun with cars and motorcycles whizzing back and forth, construction trucks laden with building materials for more shopping centres, skyscrapers, industrial sites ...

The Torah contained five books. Jesus had suffered five fatal wounds. Islam had five pillars of faith. King David had killed Goliath with five pebbles.

-بأن تُصيّره قابلًا كلَّ صورة!

Her task complete, she doesn’t remain with her man. She no longer puts her right hand on her man’s chest. She no longer tells the black prayer beads in time with her man’s breathing.

The morning prayer done, she remains sitting, takes the Koran and opens it at the page marked with a peacock feather

Giving voice to those who, as the fable goes, suffer the most and cry out the least.

Acceptance is when we bring trust to a situation. We all take risks, but if we want to master risk-taking, we must learn to do so without attaching anxious energy to our decisions. Anxiety disconnects us from our power.

الحكومات تلعب دور ضعيف في حياة الشعوب. العرق حاجات الشعوب اليومية هي التي تتحكم بمصير الشعوب.
