Quote by Mehmet Murat Ildan

“If you live in a tree-house, what you want from the world becomes what a tree wants from the world: You wait for the bird to land on the branch, you wait for the squirrel to run here and there, the wind to blow, the leaves to sing, the rain to fall!”

“She had never seen the Tree House at night. Vast and dark, lit with candles for the occasion, the rooms looked magical, the staircase a citadel, with its own strange inglenooks and deep dusty treads. In the fireplace, instead of wood, a great gong and mallet hung from a stand. The rooms were filled with couches and mismatched armchairs, and floor cushions, some with cats, and some without. Living ivy climbed to the ceiling and outlined every aperture. In the candlelight the ivy-framed bay window became a bower, the doorways passages to secret gardens.”

“Looks like you brought us a souvenir," said Nagare, plucking a plum petal from the jacket's shoulder. "Oh," said Shuji, staring at the petal in Nagare's hand. "Must have fallen on me at the shrine." "How does that tanka go again?" said Koishi. Then she recited: When the east wind blows, Let it send your fragrance, Oh plum blossoms. Although your master is gone, Do not forget the spring. "Something like that, anyway." Nagare nodded. "Love is a force to be reckoned with. But it can also be a pretty short-lived affair." He blew into his hand and the petal went fluttering into the air.”

“Ako bih se ja s Vama i suglasio da ste Vi i Vama slični intelektualci i kulturnjaci u našem hrvatskom narodnom vrtu sve slatko voće i mirisno cvijeće, a ja i meni slični ekstremisti samo drača i trnovina, onda Vas moram podsjetiti da bi sve to hrvatsko voće i cvijeće već odavno pobrstile tuđe krave i koze, da se nisu našle hrvatske trnove oštrice koje su im zabadale zazubice.”

“Trijezno kad promisli, od kakve mu je zapravo koristi otkriće da se kardinal Lovrić preko nepriznatog sina namjerio oteti imovinu njegovog pokojnog oca? Doista, bila bi to velika medijska priča, javnost bi se danima naslađivala seksualnom aferom kaptolskog velikodostojnika, ali što bi to na kraju promijenilo? Bi li se Lovrić zbog toga povukao? Vjerojatno ne. U zemlji gdje se svećenicima oprašta i ako siluju djecu, stvar bi završila bez posljedica. Za tjedan ili dva sve bi se završilo na zločestim šalama novinskih komentatora.”

“Yet deep inside I know that I'm truly blessed that I was loved by someone like you. I'll always love you my Mia Amor. I'll never forget the first poem I've written for you and how that was the first taste of love I've ever felt in my 26 years. You've shown me a love that I've never known. A love that comes along ‘once’ in a lifetime! A love ‘through the years’; I have shared with you! You are this kind of love, I love you. Thank you for being the “PERFECT LOVE" for me.”
