Quotes by Reşat Nuri Güntekin (?)

“İnsan yaşadığı yerlerde beraber bulunduğu insanlara görünmez ince tellerle bağlanırmış; ayrılık vaktinde bu bağlar gerilmeye, kopan keman telleri gibi acı sesler çıkarmaya başlar, hep birinin gönlümüzden kopup ayrılması bir ayrı sızı uyandırırmış. Bunu yazan şair ne kadar haklıymış!”
― Reşat Nuri Güntekin, Çalıkuşu
