Turkish football serves the cause of nationalism, but not of the nation.

Mankind's greatest error, the biggest deception of the past thousand years is this: to confuse poverty with stupidity.

It's a great relief for me that no one will ask me anymore: "Orhan, when will you get the Nobel Prize?"

Enjoyment of football is part of the social context, and I have lost my faith in this social context.

In poetically well built museums, formed from the heart's compulsions, we are consoled not by finding in them old objects that we love, but by losing all sense of Time.

Hüzün does not just paralyze the inhabitants of Instanbul, it also gives them poetic license to be paralyzed.

What was venerated as style was nothing more than an imperfection or flaw that revealed the guilty hand.
