It was then that the fox appeared.
“Good morning,” said the fox.
“Good morning,” the little prince responded politely, although when he turned around he saw nothing.
“I am right here,” the voice said, “under the apple tree.”
“Who are you?” asked the little prince, and added, “You are very pretty to look at.”
“I am a fox,” the

Mevlana Jalaluddin Rumi says...
The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you, don't go back to sleep!
You must ask for what you really want, don't go back to sleep!
People are going back and forth across the doorsill, the door is round and open,
don't go back to sleep!
I would love to kiss you, the price of kissing is your life.
Now, my loving is
You start dying slowly
Yavaş yavaş ölürler
Seyahat etmeyenler.
Yavaş yavaş ölürler
Okumayanlar, müzik dinlemeyenler,
Vicdanlarında hoşgörüyü barındıramayanlar.
Yavaş yavaş ölürler
Alışkanlıklarına esir olanlar,

In India lives a bird that is unique:
The lovely phoenix has a long, hard beak
Pierced with a hundred holes, just like a flute --
It has no mate, its reign is absolute.
Each opening has a different sound; each sound
Means something secret, subtle and profound --
And as these shrill, lamenting notes are heard,
A silence falls on every

"Each time you read a book, a tree smiles knowing there's life after death."
“What, if some day or night a demon were to steal after you into your loneliest loneliness and say to you: 'This life as you now live it and have lived it, you will have to live once more and innumerable times more' ... Would you not throw yourself down and gnash your teeth and curse the demon who spoke thus? Or have you once experienced a tremendous moment when you would have answered him: 'You are a god and never have I heard anything more divine.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche, The Gay Science
Schon verstand er, im Innern seines Wesens Atman* zu wissen, unzerstörbar, eins mit dem Weltall.
He already knew to feel Atman* in the depth of his being, indestructable, one with universe.
(Mevcudiyetin derinliklerindeki, parçalanmaz ve evrenle bir olan Atman* ı hissetmeği çoktan kavramıştı.)
*: Sanskritçe'de nefes anlamına gelip Hint inanışının çok temel kavramlardan biri. İlginçtir, Almanca'da da "atmen" nefes almak manasına geliyor.
Ayrıntılı malumat Brittanica'dan:
"atman, ( Sanskrit: “self,” “breath”) one of the most basic concepts in Hinduism, the universal self, identical with the eternal core of the personality that after death either transmigrates to a new life or attains release (moksha) from the bonds of existence. While in the early Vedas it occurred mostly as a reflexive pronoun meaning “oneself,” in the later Upanishads (speculative commentaries on the Vedas) it comes more and more to the fore as a philosophical topic. Atman is that which makes the other organs and faculties function and for which indeed they function; it also underlies all the activities of a person, as brahman (the Absolute) underlies the workings of the universe. Atman is part of the universal brahman, with which it can commune or even fuse. So fundamental was the atman deemed to be that certain circles identified it with brahman. Of the various systems (darshans) of Hindu thought, Vedanta is the one that is particularly concerned with the atman."

Gaudeamus igitur,
Juvenes dum sumus;
Post icundum iuventutem,
Post molestam senectutem
Nos habebit humus.
