“I let the front door slam shut behind me and the fly screen rattle. It was as if each door was kicking me out of the old life I'd lived in that house. I was being thrown out into the world, new. The broken, leaning gate creaked open, let me out, and I gently placed it shut. I was gone, and from down the street, maybe fifty yards away, I looked back for a second at the house where I lived. It wasn't the same any more. It never would be. I kept walking.”

“Young, Boiling, Selfless (The Sonnet) Sen söyle karadeniz, Ben daha ne yapayım! Gençliğimi feda ettim, Hayatımı feda ettim, Ben daha ne yapayım! In wiping out the anguish of society, I forgot to indulge in the exploits of youth. Once I realized the world on my shoulder, That was the end of self, and the birth of truth. People dream of earning a ton of money, I always dreamed of earning immortality. Anybody can live in flesh and blood, Mark of character is to live in people's memory. An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind, But a life given for a life fallen makes the whole world alive.”
