Quote
People sometimes imagine that just because they have access to so many newspapers, radio and TV channels, they will get an infinity of different opinions. Then they discover that things are just the opposite: the power of these loudspeakers only amplifies the opinion prevalent at a certain time, to the point where it covers any other opinion.

La intimidad de un pueblo es su literatura. En ella quedan desveladas sus pasiones, sus aspiraciones, sus sueños, sus frustraciones, sus creencias, su visión del mundo que los rodea, su percepción de sí mismos y de los demás, incluida las que tienen ellos de nosotros.

Quote
Her erkeğin, bu arada babamın da, mutluluğu yakalamak için yanlış yollara da sapmaya hakkı olduğunu ancak saçlarıma aklar düştüğü zaman anladım. Ancak o zaman onun yanlışlarına saygı duymaya başladım. Senin de benim yanlışlarıma benzer saygıyı duymanı dilerim oğlum. Senin de kimi zamanlar böyle yanlışlara düşmeni dilerim. Ve umarım sen de acımasızlık noktasına varana dek seversin ve dilerim sen de yaşamın soylu çekiciliklerini uzun süre algılayabilesin.

Quote
I despise the zeal of the devout, but I have never said that the One is two.I am not one of those for whom faith is simply fear of judgement. How do I pray? I study a rose, I count the stars, I marvel at the beauty of the creation and how perfectly ordered it is, at man, the most beautiful work of the Creator, his brain thirsting for knowledge, his heart for love, and his senses, all his senses alert or gratified.
