By looking at only one place, you miss everything in all the other places! Look everywhere to see everything!

Don__ say deep things to shallow people and don__ talk about shallow things with the deep people!

Be a provocateur! Provoke people to think! Provoke sleepers to awake! Provoke slaves to revolt against their masters! Provoke everyone to gain control over their fates unchecked! Provoke the lonely to participate the crowds and provoke the crowds to visit the loneliness! Be a provocateur! Provoke people to cross the bridges so that they can see the other side!

A good photograph never belongs to the past; every time you look at it, it is with you, it is alive and it is in the present moment!

Cities who do not have trams always look less literary, less poetic, and less mysterious!

You want to get lost? Then get lost amongst a marvellous beauty!

Unhappiest is the person who feels happy when seeing an unhappy person!

We have one thing in common with umbrellas: We both exist because the rain exists!

What do we feel when we look at a good photograph? We just want to be there, right at the exact moment that photo taken!

Always try to see behind what you see because all you need to see can be only at the behind of the thing you see!

To know a very different person from ourselves is a great luck for us!

If not prevented, desertification of the world can one day make the camels as the best and the sole cars of our civilisation!

If you want to win a great victory on any matter, make your move unexpectedly!

Where you see yourself is more important than where you actually are!

If you have an elegant stance, a noble stance, an ethical stance or a scientific stance, you will not be appreciated by the inelegant, by the ignoble, by the unethical or by the unscientific people!

What lies behind the innocent looks? What lies behind the kind words? What lies behind the gentle smiles? Do not remain on the surface of the things; go behind them so that you can compare the seen with the unseen, the surface with the depth to find out whether they are the same or not!

Whoever is planning a nuclear war or seriously thinking about using nuclear weapons must directly be taken to a mental hospital! Mad people are mentally sick and they only need a medical treatment! Every nation has the responsibility to weed their deranged politicians out from their governments!

Not only try but try your best!
