- اسمعيني .. لا تُعاش الحياة من أجل المبادئ , بل من أجل السعادة ..
-ولكن لا أحد يُسعد دون مبادئ وإيمان
- صحيح , ولكن من الغباء أن يقضي الإنسان على حياته في سبيل معتقداته في دولة ظالمة لا تعطي قيمة للإنسان .. المبادئ والمعتقدات العظيمة هي من أجل أناس الدول الغنية .
- على العكس تماماً .. في دولة فقيرة ليس لدى الإنسان ما يتمسك به غير معتقداته .

'Snow' is my most popular book in the United States. But in Turkey, it was not as popular as 'My Name is Red,' or even 'The Museum of Innocence,' because the secular leaders didn't want this bourgeois Orhan trying to understand these head-scarf girls.
