Quote by Mehmet Murat Ildan

“There is no leader who has remained in power for too long and has not morally decayed, who has not become involved in violence against opponents, who has not become a demon, who has not become a fox, who has not become excessively rich, who has not become excessively autocratic, who has not become extraordinarily arrogant and spoiled, who has not become hostile to freedom, who has won the love of an entire nation to the extent of wandering the streets without bodyguards around him.”

“If the government in a country treats 60 percent of the population well and 40 percent badly, that means there is a dictatorship in that country; if it treats 90 percent well and 10 percent badly, or 5 percent badly, that still means there is a dictatorship in that country. Unless the government in the country treats all of the population well and embraces everyone, that means there is a dictatorship in that country and that government is illegitimate!”

It captures all our senses, and everything comes to a screeching halt. The world slows down, and we are in a state of bliss. It hijacks our thoughts and impulses.”

“the only unfailing guide I’ve ever found through the innumerable blind alleys of my life as a writer, man, husband, father, citizen, steward, or believer, is the love burning in my heart. for me, prayer is about one thing: making contact with that love. though it burns in there like a candle flame, hot, bright, beautiful, love’s flame is so fragile… keeping one’s love burning, and living in accord with that burning: this, to me, is prayer.”
