Gulls into the water, women proudly into the bazaars I was going to write a poem, I was stifling, fed up with old things Eat, my mother says, but they're all things I've grown accustomed to, in the end. Like Camus and - I don't know - people like that, I'm cracking up Everything will begin when it untangles itself from your hair. (Ataol Behramoğlu)

You know you will never get to the end of the journey. But this, so far from discouraging, only adds to the joy and glory of the climb. View quote

We grow great by dreams. All big men are dreamers. They see things in the soft haze of a spring day or in the red fire of a long winter's evening. Some of us let these dreams die, but others nourish and protect them nurse them through bad days till they bring them to the sunshine and light which comes always to those who hope that their dreams will come true.
