Quote by Oğuz Atay

“Ey zavallı milletim dinle! (Durur.) Su anda hepimiz burada seni kurtarmak için toplanmış bulunuyoruz. Çünkü ey milletim, senin hakkında az gelişmiştir, geri kalmıştır gibi söylentiler dolaşıyor. Ey sevgili milletim! Neden böyle yapıyorsun? Neden az gelişiyorsun? Niçin bizden geri kalıyorsun? Bizler bu kadar çok gelişirken geri kaldığın için utanmıyor musun? Hiç düşünmüyor musun ki, sen neden geri kalıyorsun diye düşünmek yüzünden, biz de istediğimiz kadar ilerleyemiyoruz. Bu milletin hali ne olacak diye hayatı kendimize zehir ediyoruz. Fakir fukaranın hayatını anlatan zengin yazarlarımıza gece kulüplerinde içtikleri viskiler zehir oluyor. Zengin takımının hayatını gözlerimizin önüne sermeye çalışan meteliksiz yazarlarımız da aslında şu fakir milleti düşündükleri için, küçük meyhanelerinde ağız tadıyla içemiyorlar. Ey şu fakir milletim! Aslında seni anlatamıyoruz. Sefil ruhlarımızın korkak karanlığını anlatıyoruz. İşte onun için sana yanaşamıyoruz. Senin yanında bir sığıntı gibi yaşıyoruz. Hiç utanmıyor muyuz? Hiç utanmıyoruz. Size kendimden örnek vermek istiyorum.”

“Victoria had been everything I'd hoped. I loved her apartment: the faded wall tapestries, vases of dried lavender, art, knickknacks, silver frames balancing on every surface, the smell of baking cinnamon. It reminded me of the inside of a child's fort- a million precious things huddled together. Victoria was wonderful, too. She was like an old photograph, feathered and thinned out but mostly unchanged from what, I imagined, she'd once been. She was still unmelted, as if she'd been carved from pain aux cereales dough. Her old age wasn't something she did to everyone around her, like Aunt Lou's would be, like her middle age already was. Victoria's smile was mini and maybe could be read as stingy, as though she were fighting against it- but I didn't think so. It seemed more like it was wringing out sadness.”

“Rituals slow time; the names we give acts and the beliefs that undergird those acts contribute to a sense of order. Accepting an order produced by a power holder— internalizing its assumptions about duty, honor, and justice— delivers a stable form of obedience. Power is thus most effective when it is invisible.”

“[from 'Mad Max: Fury Road' review in 'We're Not Ugly People'] Miller has also remembered to make the film directly about things, not all subtext begging for explication. The scarcity of water, oil wars, the arms trade, and female emancipation jostle for space with the customized vehicles, coming in and out of focus with the blitz. But when it comes to political subtext, it must be acknowledged that Immortan Joe's demise was predictable from his water-distribution method. Pouring thousands of gallons of water on people's heads from a great height is not the best way to keep them pacified. Better to sell it to them in plastic bottles for ninety-nine cents each.”

“Leaders speak of leadership without defining the type of leadership they talking about. Leadership in business is all about alining people towards one goal, one mission, and one direction that is the mission of the company it exists for while the spiritual leadership is ensuring everyone at every stage and point are guided towards personal and professional development in alignment towards themselves and in their pursuit.”
