“In our household doubts more troubling than these were suffered in silence. The spiritual void I have seen in so many of Istanbul's rich, Westernised, secularist families is evident in these silences. Everyone talks openly about mathematics, success at school, football and having fun, but they grapple with the most basic questions of existence - love,compassion, religion, the meaning of life, jealousy, hatred - in trembling confusion and painful solitude. They light a cigarette, give their attention to the music on the radio, return wordlessly to their inner worlds.”

Fuimos unos idiotas, la humanidad por fin pudo descender a las profundidades del océano y despertamos esa cosa. No tardamos en arrepentirnos, no tardamos en pagar las consecuencias.”
