“Hayatın bazı ezelî anları vardır ki ne müddeti, ne şekli, ne tarifi vardır. Sadece bir duygulanma, sadece bir hayat sarsıntısıdır.”

“Mustafa Kemal Paşa deniz fenerlerini hatırlatıyordu. Işık saldığı zaman göz kamaştıracak kadar parlak, fakat ışık söndüğü zaman bir şey görmek ihtimali yok.”

“Yalnız geri hizmetlerinde değil, bizzat savaşta döğüşmüş kadınlar olduğunu da söylemeyi vazife sayarım. Bir tanesi Osmaniye’de Raziyeler köyünden Rahime adlı bir kadındı. Bu kadın, Kilikya’da Miralay Arif’in 11’inci fırkasında bizzat döğüşmüştü. 1920’de gönüllü olarak başıbozuklara katılmıştı. 1920 Şubat’ında Hasanbeyli tüneline hücum edenler arasındaydı. Bunlar, Fransızlar’dan seksen tüfek iki makineli tüfek almışlardı. Harpte ölen iki kişiyi de bu kadın sırtında getirmişti. Çevikliğinden dolayı ona ordu, Tayyar adını vermişti. 1920 Haziranında Osmaniye’de Fransız istihkamlarına hücuma o önderlik etmiş ve bu karargahın önünde vurularak ölmüştü.”
