Ah, akılları başlarından gitmiş en büyük çılgınlar! Hayatınız için artık endişe etmiyor musunuz? Yoksa zaten doğuştan mı akıldan yoksundunuz ki, en büyük felaketle burun burunayken; hatta içindeyken, onu fark etmiyorsunuz?

One day, one of Ataturk's doctors asked me, "Have you never been jealous of your friend?" asked.
I thought sincerely for a while and answered him as follows:
“Maybe I once wondered why I couldn't be as important as him.
But then, rest assured, I did not have such a feeling. This feeling looks like this:
Can you envy Mount Ararat?
Or a cloud passing through the sky?
Or the sea?
Being jealous of Mustafa Kemal,
This is such an irrational thing for me."
