Quote by Mehmet Murat Ildan

“There is no such thing as absolute superiority in this universe! At night, a tiny candle wonderfully illuminates a place where the sun cannot illuminate! There will be moments and situations when even the powers considered to be the most superior will be helpless and ineffective against a weak power!”
