Quote by Mehmet Murat Ildan

“Evindeki eşyaları azalt; etrafındaki kalabalıkları azalt; kafandaki düşünceleri azalt, etrafında ve zihninde çok fazla şey var, hepsi birer perde sanki, etrafını, önünü, arkanı sağını ve solunu görmeni engelliyorlar, bunları azaltabildiğin kadar azalt, bunlardan kurtulabilidiğin kadar kurtul! Etrafını ve zihnini sadeleştir, berraklaştır, bırak evren seni görsün ve sen de evreni! Etrafında çok fazla sis var, dağıt onları!”

“Hayatta her şeyi kontrol edemeyeceğini anladığın zaman insanda bir yenilgi hissiyle beraber harika bir rahatlama hissi oluşur! Ve şimdi sıkı dur, dostum, o kabullenişin verdiği rahatlamayla bazen o kontrol edemediğin şey de - sanki görünmez bir el sana bir kıyak çekermiş gibi - kontrol altına alınır! Bu herhalde evrenin senin yenilgiyi kabul edişin karşısında yaptığı güzel bir jesttir!”

“I am unpacking my library. Yes, I am. The books are not yet on the shelves, not yet touched by the mild boredom of order. I cannot march up and down their ranks to pass them in review before a friendly audience. You need not fear any of that. Instead, I must ask you to join me in the disorder of crates that have been wrenched open, the air saturated with the dust of wood, the floor covered with torn paper, to join me among piles of volumes that are seeing daylight again after two years of darkness, so that you may be ready to share with me a bit of the mood — it is certainly not an elegiac mood but, rather, one of anticipation — which these books arouse in a genuine collector. For such a man is speaking to you, and on closer scrutiny he proves to be speaking only about himself.”

“There is no limit as to what we can learn. Through study, we can learn from the past. Experience can empower us to handle the present. For those who desire to learn of the future, dreams hold a subtle key. Not all things we see, as we sleep, should be cast aside as non-consequential rubbish. It is true that the mind can play many tricks…but it can also send you messages meant to be deciphered at a later date.”
