“Edirne Aras Kargo” telefon görüşmesi sonunda ankete “katılmamam” için telefonu kapatmadı. Çünkü soruya olumsuz yanıt verileceğini biliyorlar.

Gel de bu acınası olaya gülme.

1000K’da alakasız kullanıcılarla ortak okuduğum üç kitap:

• Beyaz Geceler (Tolstoy) (Eğitimde Verilen Tavsiye Üzerine Okuduğum)

• Veronika Ölmek İstiyor (Arkadaşımdan Ödünç Aldığım)

• Bin Muhteşem Güneş (Okuma Grubu İçin Sesli Dinlediğim)

Halka hitap etmiyorum.
Halk da bana hitap etmiyor.

Trakya’da bir müzisyen var, nerede bir jazz (veya slow pop) organizasyonu var, şıp, adam orada.

İnsan böylesi bir tekelleşmeden bunalıyor.

Bir kere, roman yerine neden tuğla satıyorsunuz, onu anlamıyorum. Kusura bakmayın.

"Literature and butterflies are the two sweetest passions known to man."

Why do people show off their success? To inspire—or to remind others of their limits?

The reason I find my own work inadequate while applauding others is that I expect more from myself, whereas I don’t expect as much from the average people around me.
In fact, I appreciate myself more than most people.

I’m too unenthusiastic to specialize in anything.

“I’m happy,” one of my friends said. “I’m not writing now. I’m reading.”
I wondered: Does listening make us happier than speaking?

Consciousness is the eye of existence. To reach Samadhi, you must close your eyes.

Yesterday, I learned that the cancerous lump in my breast was caused by a genetic mutation and that I am predisposed to two other types of cancer. (Strange for someone who never even gets the flu.) I find solace in the thought that even the healthiest people can die at any moment.

I just watched a video about a couple who invest by buying properties and continue doing so with rental income. They say they do it to be free and not have to wait for retirement.

I’m trying to explain to my German friend why we Turkish people can’t exercise after at least 10 hours of physical and mental work a day.

Sometimes, if we’re talking about a teacher, there is also paperwork that needs to be done at home.

The lack of exercise is sociological.

The other day, I found a book in the small library at the hospital, with underlined passages from a previous reader. It was really good; in a short time, I read the parts that had caught his attention.

If I find books like this again, I’ll definitely read them.

The act of “existing” itself now seems to me like a state higher than anything else. But we are human;we can grow weary of existence, troubled by the disgrace of the age and the course of the world.Just as there is an enforcer behind the systems we criticize,there is also a true owner of existence.
