Little Planet on The Prairie: Dunya Benim, Sorumluluk Benim Quotes

“Colonizer of A Different Kind (The Sonnet) Only the shape of colonialism has changed, not the nature. Tendencies are just as filthy, rightful heir to animal disaster. I too am a colonizer, but of a different kind. I colonize no home by force, with words I colonize minds. Humanitarianism is civilized colonialism - simpler still, humanitarianism is civilization. That's the contagion my literature carries, through my proses and sonnetic revelation. First thousand were an accident, Second thousand, a promise. Answer to traditional animosity, Antidote to doting prejudice.”

“The Caretaker, Sonnet What was good enough for the fiction fearing men of the past, is no yardstick for the civilized us. Just like what we carve out for ourselves, may not be sufficient for future generations. Every generation must carve their own destiny, taking lessons from the past, not edicts. No generation is authority of the other, each generation must write their own rights, lingo and ethics. Every generation needs caretakers, and the caretaker of your generation is you. There is no such thing as a golden age, age gets golden or gutted by the likes of you. What was good enough for the apes, is no yardstick for the sapiens. My world, my responsibility - voices the Caretaker thundersaint!”
