The soul knows full well (even though it pretends to forget many times) that it must render account to the paternal soil. I do not say "fatherland", I say "paternal soil".

The human heart is a dark, unyielding mystery. It is a perforated jug with a mouth forever open; though all rivers of the earth pour in, it will remain empty and thirsting.

Çocuklara okur olmayı ve kitaplardan korkmak yerine, onlarla ilişki kurmayı öğretmek benim için bir tutku. Kitaplar göz korkutmamalı; kitaplar eğlenceli, heyecanlı ve muhteşem olmalı. Bir okur olmayı öğrenmek müthiş bir kazançtır. - Roald Dahl
What is love?It's not empathy, nor kindness.Empathy takes two, the one who hurts and the one who empathizes.Kindness takes two, the one who gives and the one who takes.But love takes just one.The two get together into one.They don't separate.The "I" and the "you" disappear.I LOVE MEANS I DISAPPEAR.. - Nikos Kazantzakis
