Quote by Hüsnü Arkan

“Eksilince anladık ki, arkadaş denen şey bir sakidir; ruhumuzun kadehini doldurur. Bizi yatıştırır, bize boyun eğer, bizi reddeder, hasta eder, iyileştirir, arkamızda durur, terk eder… Bazen çekip gittiğini unuturuz, hala varmış gibi davranırız. Çünkü o kadehi doldurmaya devam eder. Çünkü biz hep içeriz.”

That was the basic inequity which could never be righted: not that the male had a wonderful added attraction called a penis, but that the female had a wonderful all-weather cunt. Neither storm nor sleet nor dark of night could faze it. It was always there, always ready. Quite terrifying, when you think about it. No wonder men hated women. No wonder they invented the myth of female inadequacy.”

“The Friend of Your Youth is the only friend you will ever have, for he hasn’t the slightest concern with calculating his interest or your virtue. He doesn’t give a damn, for the moment, about Getting Ahead or Needs Must Admiring the Best, the two official criteria in adult friendships, and when the boring stranger appears, he puts out his hand and smiles (not really seeing your face) and speaks your name (which doesn’t really belong to your face), saying, “Well, Jack, damned glad you came, come on in, boy!”
