"From the best friend is born the worst enemy"

Sayings of the Turkish playwright and director: Tuncel Tayanç Kurtiz
Translated by: Rozana Belli

• Be so moral that even your enemy is ashamed of being your enemy.

• Manhood does not mean having broad shoulders. Manhood means turning up to someone who rests his head on your shoulder.

• We did not leave anyone in the middle of the road son. Those who remained behind, either could not reach our speed, or humanity...

• He who wounds you the first time, kills you the second time, my son.

• For your body to sleep lying down on the ground, on the ground you have to stand straight...

• It's not like that brother! The enemy is a blind shooter, only a friend knows exactly where to shoot you.

• Say a word to someone that will either give him life or kill him, but never leave him wounded...

• Sometimes son, for things to go in line, you don't have to tighten your fist. You have to open your palm and let what you have there fly into the air. And you have to wait son, wait for them to come back.

• I lost more than I had…

• I realized that many people overcome the body's need for water by licking what they spit, son.

• Love means getting wet under someone's rain and not being able to dry in someone else's sun.

• If there is treachery in the eye, don't look for loyalty in the word, son.

• From the best friend is born the worst enemy.

• The easiest thing in life is to deal with words. The hardest thing is to know yourself...

• If you forgive your enemy, brother, he will kill you once more…

• You pray for yourself, I pray for those I love...

• The brave die only once son, the cowards every day...

• The moment when you are sure that you will win, is the moment when you are more vulnerable than ever...
