from the republic era, my favorite is Cahit Külebi because he's outside of any literary movements in Turkey, reads more like a folk song.

>What ideal is this that shapes the everlasting fire of human souls - that enthusiasm fanned and corrupted, time and time again, diverted by imaginary struggles - and drives it to some nobler end at last?

>We need both carriers of sand and hewers of stone; one cannot build a house without their labor. But these have only the foggiest idea of the grand design in which they play a part - only the architect comprehends the whole, and even if he cannot carve the stone the work is his creation, he it’s god.

It was my life goal, sort of. I've studied at uni knowing that I would be broke anyway.
Got published around the time I lost all hope in getting published. Found someone who truly understands what I was trying to do. Felt "wow" for a moment, then nothing.
Went to a book club discussing my book, see plebs totally missing points and making their own stupid interpretations which don't even make sense.
understood and accepted that human communication (from one mind to another) is impossible.
Since then I have lost all the drive to write. And whatever I DO write, I write for myself only.
