“Cat's friends seemed like very sweet girls," Dad says.

“You give them an environment where they feel they can grow. But also make bloody sure you challenge them. You make sure they realise learning is hard. Because if you don’t, if you only make it a safe haven, if it’s all clap-happy, and ‘everything the kids do is great’, then what are you creating? Emotional toffees, who’ve actually learnt nothing, but who then have to go back and face the real world … Find that balance, it stretches you, it stretches you as far as you’ll go.”
David Hare, Skylight

“Joining a gang is like sky diving without a parachute. Oh, at first it’s all fun, as you take on gravity in a thrilling and exhilarating free fall towards earth. The truth is, anything that is risky and dangerous always starts out as fun. But the odds are always stacked in gravity’s favor, for you will eventually come face to face with the earth, and mother earth always wins those battles. The same thing can be said about being in a gang.”
Drexel Deal, The Fight of My Life is Wrapped Up in My Father

“If you make boozed up youngsters with no comprehension of civilization your role model, you will end up with a world outwardly sophisticated yet inwardly broken and empty.

“Young, Boiling, Selfless (The Sonnet)

Sen söyle karadeniz,
Ben daha ne yapayım!
Gençliğimi feda ettim,
Hayatımı feda ettim,
Ben daha ne yapayım!
In wiping out the anguish of society,
I forgot to indulge in the exploits of youth.
Once I realized the world on my shoulder,
That was the end of self, and the birth of truth.
People dream of earning a ton of money,
I always dreamed of earning immortality.
Anybody can live in flesh and blood,
Mark of character is to live in people's memory.
An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind,
But a life given for a life fallen
makes the whole world alive.”
Abhijit Naskar, Mucize Misafir Merhaba: The Peace Testament

“Illumination Manifest
(Youth Sonnet, 1528)

Youth are the cure
for all dividing insanity.
You are the antidote
to all bewitching animosity.

Don't confuse youth as a measure
of agist conventionality.
Youth is but a sanctifying dawn,
out of the dusk of rigidity.

Youth is the spirit of play
with the forces of ominosity.
Youth is the conquest of death
into the daring pastures of duty.

Youth are absolution to habits of death.
Youth are walking illumination manifest.”
