These are quotes from the theatre play "Eyes of Magic" by contemporary Turkish author Mehmet Murat ildan.

1.	They say “Wine is Satan’s falcon,”; apparently he uses it in hunting men!
2.	Women are like the fish in the sea, they are the ones who give life to the sea, that make the sea joyful.
3.	My dear Tartini, one’s life is so sweet and precious that even honey tastes like salt in comparison!
4.	A body without wine is like a dessert without sugar. A pale woman can only be coloured with lipstick and rouge, and a pale man can only be coloured with wine!
5.	Don’t forget that the boat and the water are in love with each other; you should never let them on their own; lo and behold, they have made an agreement with the wind and gone off on their honeymoon!
6.	Insult is a monstrous scorpion, and compliment is a likeable nightingale; one stings mercilessly, and the other sings sweetly.
7.	Like a broken vase does not fear of breaking once more, my broken heart is not affected by your hurting words anymore!
8.	A stomach without bread and a purse without gold have led to so many revolutions in history.
9.	What a hungry fox constantly dreams of is a chicken!
10.	Oleanders have attractive flowers, they decorate nature beautifully, but they are poisonous; and a woman is an oleander; it’s all right to watch her once in a while, but then you must walk away without touching her; if you ever try to taste her even once, you’ll head for hell!
11.	You see only the cat’s paw, Signor Tartini, whereas I see the sharp claws hidden in that paw!..
12.	Women are like fire; they warm you from afar, and when you enter into them they burn you to ashes!
13.	Mankind has invented the mirror in vain, for there’s nobody in this world who looks into the mirror and sees himself as he truly is; each person has his own mirror hidden in his own mind and he can’t see more than what that mirror in his mind reflects!
14.	A worthless servant is more popular than his master! This means that the apocalypse mentioned in the Bible is near at hand!
15.	A female ship should slowly go to dock when she sees a male harbour, for this is the most natural thing to do!
16.	Is it possible to take river water back after it has mixed into the sea? The river and the sea are united and one now.
17.	What binds a wife to her husband is neither magic, nor a priest, nor love! What makes this possible is only silver coins! A woman’s heart is like a candle, my friend. As long as the money wick keeps burning, her heart stays warm. But when the wick burns down, her love is extinguished!
18.	Your wife has deserted you, but you’ll find a new one; whereas, soon my wits will desert me, and for this there is no remedy.
19.	Anyway, two men hugging each other is against nature. A ram should not hug another ram, and a he-goat should not hug another he-goat! Let a he-dog embrace a she-dog, and let a female cattle hug a bull, but a stallion should not embrace another stallion, and a cock should not reach for another cock!
20.	A woman and a man are like the sheet and the quilt. Since we happen to be the quilts, we need to have clean sheets.
21.	This is a world of the hunters and the hunted, signorina. Tonight you are the prey and I am the hunter!
22.	Don’t forget that birds with broken wings walking on the ground were once flying high up in the sky.
