More From Orhan Pamuk

Join the bold, the brazen, the unintimidated. join not having excuses. join the idea that fun is the source of all joy. join the unwillingness to give up. join doing things your way. join not joining. join that purpose is stronger than outcome. join your gut. join the constant challenge of seeking greatness. join play. join the hunger to find what makes you happy. join karma and nature and the effect you have on your world. join your philosophy. join something bigger than you. join what you believe.
Karma Giving Up Fun
If i were a factory employee, a workman on the railroads or a wage-earner of any sort, i would undoubtedly join the union of my trade. if i disapproved of its policy, i would join in order to fight that policy; if the union leaders were dishonest, i would join in order to put them out. i believe in the union and i believe that all men who are benefited by the union are morally bound to help to the extent of their power in the common interests advanced by the union.

I hate turkeys. if you go to the grocery store, you start to get mad at turkeys. you see turkey ham, turkey bologna, turkey pastrami. somebody just needs to tell the turkeys, "man, just be yourselves!" i already like you, little fella. i used to draw you. if you had a couple of fingers missing, you would draw a really messed-up turkey. that turkey was in an accident!
Funny Couple Hate
We hear in these days a great deal respecting rights--the rights of private judgment, the rights of labor, the rights of property, and the rights of man. rights are grand things, divine things in this world of god's; but the way in which we expound these rights, alas! seems to me to be the very incarnation of selfishness. i can see nothing very noble in a man who is forever going about calling for his own rights. alas! alas! for the man who feels nothing more grand in this wondrous, divine world than his own rights.

Intolerance lies at the core of evil. not the intolerance that results from any threat or danger. but intolerance of another being who dares to exist. intolerance without cause. it is so deep within us, because every human being secretly desires the entire universe to himself. our only way out is to learn compassion without cause. to care for each other simple because that 'other' exists.
Lying Simple Compassion
You have to join every other movement for the freedom of people. therefore join the movement as individuals against anti-semitism, join the movements for the rights of hispanics, the rights of women, the rights of gays. in other words, i think that each movement has to stand on its own feet because it has a particular agenda, but it can ask other people.

Loads of my friends are lesbians, and it really annoys me that gay people aren't allowed to get married in most parts of america. i'd go on a march for gay rights any time.

Our society needs to recognize the unstoppable momentum toward unequivocal civil equality for every gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered citizen of this country.

Disease generally begins that equality which death completes; the distinctions which set one man so much above another are very little perceived in the gloom of a sick chamber, where it will be vain to expect entertainment from the gay, or instruction from the wise; where all human glory is obliterated, the wit is clouded, the reasoner perplexed, and the hero subdued; where the highest and brightest of mortal beings finds nothing left him but the consciousness of innocence.
Wise Hero Gay
When i was a kid, and i was odd, the default assumption was that i was odd, not that i was gay. now when a kid is odd in a greensburg, gay or straight, the default assumption is gay.
