Quote by Mehmet Murat Ildan

“Do you think you are a good person? Think again, I say! Think Gandhiji! He nursed lepers, opened his home to leprosy patients! See, to be a really good person, you have to be involved in such extraordinary work! Sit down, think, are you a good person?”

“I never told you about the trip to Portugal 3 years ago when I read Fernando Pessoa at 1 a.m. outside a small family-run restaurant by the harbour. If I close my eyes I can still smell the salt water and the fish, some sort of cleaning powder scent from the kitchen, can still feel the heat, a soft wind and me sitting with wide open eyes on my own at 1 a.m. writing what I thought was profound and excellent. I felt like a writer then. I was not a girlfriend or a daughter or a songwriter who never got signed—I was a writer in the truest sense and I lived in my own flames.”
