Inferno, Canto 1
Midway upon the journey of our life
I found myself within a forest dark,
For the straightforward pathway had been lost.
Ah me! how hard a thing it is to say
What was this forest savage, rough, and stern,
Which in the very thought renews the fear.
So bitter is it, death is little more;
But of the good to treat, which there I found,
Umut~ Hope
Unutmayın ki gecenin en karanlık anı, güneşin doğmasına en yakın andır...
Remember that the darkest moment of the night is the moment closest to the sunrise...
If I Must Die
If I must die,
you must live
to tell my story
to sell my things
to buy a piece of cloth
and some strings
(make it white with a long tail).
So that a child, somewhere in Gaza
while looking heaven in the eye,
awaiting his dad who left in a blaze —
and bid no one farewell
not even to his flesh
not even to himself —.
Sees the kite, my kite you made, flying up above,
and thinks for a moment an angel is there
bringing back love.
If I must die
let it bring hope,
let it be a story.

32 of the Best Pride and Prejudice Quotes
“Vanity and pride are different things, though the words are often used synonymously. A person may be proud without being vain. Pride relates more to our opinion of ourselves, vanity to what we would have others think of us.”
“There are few people whom I really love, and still fewer of whom I think well.
Delulu'lığım her gün artıyor...
The moment he hears the way she talks about him being her man, he feels happy deep down. He is hers, and she is his and that is how it would always be.
"You are absolutely right. I'm not like any other men, and I am a man that only belongs to you. You are my heart, my light, and my world."
"Family" is a word that's thrown around a lot in the workplace.
But let's get real for a moment.
A company is not a family.
Families don't sit down at dinner and discuss who'll be let go.
First of all, I don't get angry at anyone for no reason or want to break their heart because, as my grandmother said, breaking a heart is like destroying the most sacred place. Unfortunately or fortunately, I do not know the feeling of hate because I have loved all my life, but I did not hate anyone who made me angry and harmed us. I always
Dependencies
The only true freedom for a person is solitude. And what belittles solitude are dependencies. Loves, alcohol, nicotine, moral values, drugs... They can all be shackles at any moment, binding a person's feet. Pleasurable shackles. Their common characteristic is that the pleasure they provide is not felt after a long time, while their absence immediately creates a pain in the heart. A dependent person is like someone riding a merry-go-round. There is neither a destination nor progress in their life. Everyone ends up where they started, spinning until they can't stomach it anymore... A person's struggle with themselves begins with eliminating their dependencies. I struggled for years to let go of them all. For years, I peeled off the shells that covered my body and mind one by one. But like scars left by prematurely torn-off shells, traces remained in my mind. I realized, albeit late, that the only way to completely rid oneself of the dependencies that make a human an animal is to die. That was the difference between Kayra and me. He persisted in believing he could vaporize them all.
Anyway! Let's return to the ways dependencies are eradicated while still alive... They never end. They just change shape. If one that wants to be abandoned is removed, a new one is placed in its stead, that's all. That's the only way to rid oneself of a dependency. There is no independent person. Therefore, we choose what suits us best. We say, "I'll smoke, it makes me look taller." Or, "I love people, I want to always be with them, walk among crowded groups of friends," because admitting we're addicted to human flesh is a more polite way of putting it.
"My love, what are you look at?"
"How beautiful your hair shines in the sunlight. And your eyes, so gentle and so full of love. I wish to engrave this image of you in my heart, so that this moment will last forever."
"But why? We are always together, you and I, and we always will be; together until the end of time."
"Hamona, beautiful Hamona. Dearest, I will give you my word: I promise that one day, I'll take you to Paradise."
"No, for me, this is Paradise; when you and I are together, where ever we are, that is always Paradise to me."
He did not know the truth of me, yet he had perceived something true about me that no one else had ever noticed. And in spite of that—or perhaps because of it—he believed me good, believed me worth taking seriously, and his belief, for one vertigi-nous moment, made me want to be better than I was.
THE RAVEN - Edgar Allan Poe
ONCE upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore—
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
“ ’Tis some visitor,” I muttered, “tapping at my chamber door—
Only this and nothing more.”
Ah, distinctly
