Turkish Football Serves The Cause Of Nationalism,

Love Is A Sacred Silence.

More Than Anything I Am A Novelist. But For Me, An Author's Job Is Not Only To Create Linguistically Accomplished Works. As An Author I Also Want To Stimulate Discussion.

A Writer Is Someone Who Spends Years Patiently Trying To Discover The Second Being Inside Him, And The World That Makes Him Who He Is: When I Speak Of Writing, What Comes First To My Mind Is Not A Novel, A Poem, Or Literary Tradition, It Is A Person Who Shuts Himself Up In A Room, Sits Down At A Table, And Alone, Turns Inward; Amid Its Shadows, He Builds A New World With Words.

The Beauty And Mystery Of This World Only Emerges Through Affection, Attention, Interest And Compassion . . . Open Your Eyes Wide And Actually See This World By Attending To Its Colors, Details And Irony.

I Certainly See Myself More As A Craftsman Than As An Artist.
