“İster Doğulu ister Batılı formlarla yapılsın, tiyatro sanatının kaçınılmaz olarak mekân oluşturması ve mekânın doğal olarak anımsamaya, belleğe seslenmesinin yarattığı kırılmaz (sanılan) tiyatro-bellek ilişkisi, bu coğrafyada kırılmış gibi görünüyor. Geçmişinden kaçan toplum, o geçmişi yok saymanın yolunu bulmuş, tiyatrosunda, üstelik de gerçeği temsil etmeyi vaat eden “gerçekçi” tiyatrosunda geçmişle hiç ilgilenmemiş, yekpare bir an’da, dondurulmuş bir zamanda, ve salt bir “satıh”a dönüşmüş zemininde, kendini, ansızın zuhur eden hikâyelere tutturmuştur. Öyleyse gerçekçi Türk tiyatrosu kendini derinliksiz, iki boyutlu bir satıh olarak kurdukça, anlattığı hikâyeyi ona yaklaşmadan, kişilerini canlandırmadan dışardan anlattıkça, sadece görünümü, sathı ya da dışıyla ilgilenen bir zâhirperest’e dönüşmüş; Araba Sevdası’nın züppesi Bihruz’un ruhunu hiç durmadan şâd etmiştir. Dış telkine açıklığı ve mutlak iç yokluğuyla kendini, hedeflediği değil de reddettiği bir kaynağın etkisine maruz bırakmış, minyatürlüğünün farkına varmaksızın ömrünü, ideali olan ama ruhuna uygun olmayan Batılı anlayışla çerçevelediği sahne üzerinde heba ederek asıl macerasını hiç yaşamadan geride bırakmıştır.”

“But on the question of whether the robots will eventually take over, he {Rodney A. Brooks} says that this will probably not happen, for a variety of reasons. First, no one is going to accidentally build a robot that wants to rule the world. He says that creating a robot that can suddenly take over is like someone accidentally building a 747 jetliner. Plus, there will be plenty of time to stop this from happening. Before someone builds a "super-bad robot," someone has to build a "mildly bad robot," and before that a "not-so-bad robot.”

“It was two weeks after the day she turned eighteen All dressed in white Going to the church that night She had his box of letters in the passenger seat Sixpence in a shoe, something borrowed, something blue And when the church doors opened up wide She put her veil down Trying to hide the tears Oh she just couldn't believe it She heard trumpets from the military band And the flowers fell out of her hand Baby why'd you leave me Why'd you have to go? I was counting on forever, now I'll never know I can't even breathe It's like I'm looking from a distance Standing in the background Everybody's saying, he's not coming home now This can't be happening to me This is just a dream The preacher man said let us bow our heads and pray Lord please lift his soul, and heal this hurt Then the congregation all stood up and sang the saddest song that she ever heard Then they handed her a folded up flag And she held on to all she had left of him Oh, and what could have been And then the guns rang one last shot And it felt like a bullet in her heart Baby why'd you leave me Why'd you have to go? I was counting on forever, now I'll never know I can't even breathe It's like I'm looking from a distance Standing in the background Everybody's saying, he's not coming home now This can't be happening to me This is just a dream Oh, this is just a dream Just a dream”
