"The first to enter hell are not those who do evil or sin, but those who didn’t do good although they were in a position to do it."
Is it a Ban or a Taboo? includes quotes and introducer of the author's books. I enjoyed this. There were a lot of beautiful phrases. I've highlighted quotes more than I expected, I only mention two of them.
"Dangerous Thoughts" and "Human Comedy" published in a single book in 2010, and There are stories like, "Crime And Confessions" and "A Ghost is Wandering in Ankara". I recently read two of them. "Is love a Madness?", "The Expulsion of Adam and Eve from Heaven According to Devil", and I loved them. Also, I got very interested to read "The Sermon Book Of The False Prophet" and "The Education of a Prostitute". Sound very complaining.
"God must have thought of birds when he created the trees. That's why there is no tree without a bird and there can not be a world without trees. But the world can well survive without humans. Even the existence of the insect that attracts birds to the tree is more essential to nature than human. Indeed , if we were to be erased from the face of the earth today, the nature would continue functioning just the same. But if the bugs disappear, there's nothing left. Maybe the reason man is always looking for a place outside of this world, creating a heaven and a hell away from the earth is because there is no place for him in this world." (Human Comedy)
or maybe find a place on another planet!!!
