More quotes by Orhan Pamuk, Snow

"Most of the time it's not the Europeans who belittle us. What happens when we look at them is that we belittle ourselves. When we undertake the pilgrimage, it's not just to escape the tyranny at home but also to reach to the depths of our souls. The day arrives when the guilty must return to save those who could not find the courage to leave."
"Happiness is holding someone in your arms and knowing you hold the whole world."
"There's a lot of pride involved in my refusal to believe in god."
