The body of a former lover is a map that pulls you into its depths and returns to the surface that part of your being that was lost somewhere along the way. It is also a dimmed, cracked mirror that shows you how much you have changed; like any mirror, it longs to be whole again.

Unlike historical literature, in real life, stories do not reach us in their entirety, but in pieces and fragments, isolated segments and partial echoes: the full sentence is here, the fragment is there, the key is hidden somewhere in the middle. And, unlike any kind of literature, in real life we weave our stories from threads no thicker than the thin veins of a butterfly's wings.

After all, we speak different languages, you think, and then you see that our common language is sorrow. We, people with a difficult past, understand each other.

The water that our branches suck up is the blood of the earth, the tears of the victims, the ink of the truth that needs to be acknowledged. People, especially victors, who create annals of history with a pen in their hands, tend to erase rather than document. And we, the plants, have to collect everything untold and undesirable. Like a cat curling up on its favorite pillow, the tree wraps its roots around the remnants of truth.

Now I look at bigotry - any type - as a non-viral disease. Sneaking insidiously and ticking like a pendulum clock that never stops, this affliction strikes faster those who are part of a closed, homogenous community. Therefore, I always remind myself that it is better to stay away from all sorts of collective beliefs and beliefs.

You don't fall in love in Cyprus in the summer of 1974. Not here and not now. And yet they fell in love, these two.
Quote Explanation: On July 20, 1974, the Turkish armed forces invaded the northern part of the island of Cyprus, seized the territory and declared it a separate state. The prerequisites for this were inter-ethnic conflicts between Greeks and Turks that took place in 1964 and 1967. On July 15, 1974, the Greek Cypriot terrorist organization EOKA-B overthrew Archbishop Makarios III, the President of Cyprus, which led to the invasion of Turkish troops, who saw this as a danger to their interests in Cyprus.
