Quote by Orhan Veli Kanık

“Ah, biz küçük burjuvalar, ne sahte, ne yaldızdan ibaret insanlarız. Her şeyimiz yalan. En küçük yalanı, düpedüz yalan söylediğimiz zaman söyleriz. Ya söylemediklerimiz? Korkunç.”

“Why do we tell lies? We lie because the truth is too painful or too shameful for us to face, or because the truth is simply inconvenient and has to be suppressed before it’s allowed to disturb us. We invent lies because, for whatever reason, we want to invent reality. And the false reality which we invent, the world we make up by our lying, has one great advantage for us: It makes no claim on us. It demands nothing. It doesn’t shape us in the way that truth shapes us; it faces us with no obligations; it has no hard, resistant surfaces which we can’t get through. A lie is a made-up reality, and so never unsettles, never criticizes, never resists, never overthrows us. It’s the world, not as it is, but as we wish it to be: a world organized around us and our desires, the perfect environment in which we can be left at peace to be ourselves and to follow our own good or evil purposes.”
