Quote by Mehmet Murat Ildan

“The one who watches is always the one who is watched! You look at the mountains and the mountains look at you; you are watching the sunset and it is watching you! Look into the depths of the universe, the depths of the universe also look at you!”

“At that moment, I began to fully appreciate the power of attention. Each of us has a characteristic way of showing up in the world, a physical and mental presence that sets a tone for how people interact with us. Some people walk into a room with an expression that is warm and embracing; others walk in looking cool and closed up. Some people first encounter others with a gaze that is generous and loving; other people regard those they meet with a formal and aloof gaze. That gaze, that first sight, represents a posture toward the world. A person who is looking for beauty is likely to find wonders, while a person looking for threats will find danger. A person who beams warmth brings out the glowing sides of the people she meets, while a person who conveys formality can meet the same people and find them stiff and detached. “Attention,” the psychiatrist Iain McGilchrist writes, “is a moral act: it creates, brings aspects of things into being.” The quality of your life depends quite a bit on the quality of attention you project out onto the world.”

“Za pilota ova je noć bila bez obala, jer nije vodila ni prema luci (sve su se činile nedostižnima), ni prema zori; benzina će ponestati za sat i četrdeset. Prije ili kasnije, bit će primorani naslijepo utonuti u onu tminu. Kad bi bar mogao izdržati do zore... Fabien je mislio na zoru kao na kakav zlaćani pješčani žal, gdje bi se nasukali nakon ove teške noći. Pod zrakoplovom u opasnosti rodila bi se obala ravnica. Mirna bi zemlja nosila svoja usnula domaćinstva, stada i obronke. Sve olupine što su se valjale u sjeni postale bi bezazlene. Da je mogao, kako bi samo zaplivao prema jutru! Pomisli da je opkoljen. Sve će se svršiti, dobro ili loše, u ovoj gluhoj noći.”
