I write because I want to read books like the ones I write.
I write because I am angry at all of you, angry at everyone.I can only partake in real life by changing it.
I write because I want others, all of us, the whole world, to know what sort of life we lived, and continue to live, in Istanbul, in Turkey.
I write because I love the smell of paper, pen, and ink.
I write because I believe in literature, in the art of the novel, more than I believe in anything else.
I write because it is a habit, a passion.
I write because I am afraid of being forgotten.
I write because I like the glory and interest writing brings.
I write to be alone.
Perhaps I write because I hope to understand why I am so very, very angry at all of you, so very, very angry at everyone.
I write because I like to be read.
I write because once I have begun a novel, an essay, a page, I want to finish it.
I write because everyone expects me to write.
I write because I hve a childish belief in the immporality of libraries, and in the way my books sit on the shelf.
I write because it is exciting to turn all of life's beauties and riches into words.
I write not to tell a story, but to compose a story.
I write because I wish to escape from the foreboding that this is a place I must go but -just as in a dream- I can't quite get there.
I write because I have never managed to be happy.
I write to be happy!"
