Quote by Mehmet Murat Ildan

“Feeling good in front of the coal stove in a cold day? That’s good, but over there you must also feel the sorrows of the miners! In heaven, don’t forget the people in hell!”

“На картине Антона мужик с грубыми руками и жесткими чертами лица застыл в проеме выработки... Мужчина смотрит вдаль, словно пытаясь найти выход, но дальше, чем простирается свет лампы, уйти не может. А вот автобус на шахтной площадке — из него выходят шахтеры в грязных робах с безразличными усталыми лицами... а сбоку пятилетний мальчик с мячом в руках внимательно рассматривает мужчин, будто наблюдая за своим будущим.”

“El que ha nacido, crecido o vivido en una cuenca minera sabe bien lo que significa. Sabe que la dureza del trabajo y la pérdida de vidas se viven en carne propia. Sabe qué supone la minería para los pueblos y el paisaje, para bien y para mal. La vida en las cuencas mineras tiene un espíritu común muy poco común en otros territorios. Mirar hacia delante no es olvidar el camino, pero sólo se avanza en una dirección.”

“The most disappointing of the jobs I had was the ‘Green’ solar photovoltaic industry. I had three jobs in the field. Two of them had a constant pressure to work very long hours. I remember my neighbor commenting that he would see me leave for work in the dark and come home in the dark! One of the jobs had completely overloaded me with the work of many workers and refused my daily requests for more staff! I left the ‘Green’ industry and have never pursued another job in it.”

“Solar eclipses are associated with changed health. After watching the cloudy ring of fire eclipse on 14th October 2023 I had changed health. I noticed a change in mental state and had a lowered mood in the hours afterwards. It was followed by a mild afternoon headache. The next day I had unusual digestive disturbances that felt like mild food poisoning.”

“Modern life seems to recede further and further away from nature, and closely connected with this fact we seem to be losing the feeling of reverence towards nature. It is probably inevitable when science and machinery, capitalism and materialism go hand in hand so far in a most remarkably successful manner. Mysticism, which is the life of religion in whatever sense we understand it, has come to be relegated altogether in the background. Without a certain amount of mysticism there is no appreciation for the feeling of reverence, and, along with it, for the spiritual significance of humility. Science and scientific technique have done a great deal for humanity; but as far as our spiritual welfare is concerned we have not made any advances over that attained by our forefathers. In fact we are suffering at present the worst kind of unrest all over the world.”
