Our writing equipment takes part in forming our thoughts.

Of all that is written, I love only what a person has written with his own blood.

The cornerstone of education is an easy system of reading and writing. The key to this is the new Turkish alphabet based on the Latin script.

Everyone being allowed to learn to read ruins in the long run not only writing but also thinking.

Whether it's a letter, song lyrics, part of a novel, or instructions on how to fix a kitchen sink, it's writing. You keep your craft honed, you acquire the discipline to finish things. You turn into a self-taskmaster.

As far as songwriting, my inspirations came from love, life and death, and viewing other people's situations.
