Quotes

▶

"Well, on the one hand the Turks have the legitimate need to defend their national dignity - and this includes being recognized as a part of the west and Europe."; "The opponents of this process have always tried to vilify westernization as a poor imitation."; "The hero of the book does long to experience God. But his conception of God is very western."; "The challenge is to lend conviction even to the voices which advocate views I find personally abhorrent, whether they are political Islamists or officers justifying a coup."; "I want to describe the psychological state of the people in a certain city.";  …

"At first my publisher had reservations about publishing it in the form you are familiar with."
