Time Is Just An Illusion. What You

We're Stuck. We're Stuck Between The East And The West. Between The Past And The Future. On The One Hand There Are The Secular Modernists, So Proud Of The Regime They Constructed, You Cannot Breathe A Critical Word. They've Got The Army And Half Of The State On Their Side. On The Other Hand There Are The Conventional Traditionalist, So Infatuated With The Ottoman Past, You Cannot Breathe A Critical Word. They've Got The General Public And The Remaining Half Of The State On Their Side.

The Past Lives Within The Present, And Our Ancestors Breathe Through Our Children.

Father, I Am From A Different Egg Than Your Other Children. Think Of Me As A Duckling Raised By Hens. I Am Not A Domestic Bird Destined To Spend His Life In A Chicken Coop. The Water That Scares You Rejuvenates Me. For Unlike You I Can Swim, And Swim I Shall. The Ocean Is My Homeland. If You Are With Me, Come To The Ocean. If Not, Stop Interfering With Me And Go Back To The Chicken Coop.

How Can You Blame Others For Disrespecting You When You Think Of Yourself As Unworthy Of Respect?

Time Is Just An Illusion. What You Need Is To Live This Very Moment. That Is All That Matters.
