Believe Quote by Nâzım Hikmet
““Believe in seeds, earth, and the sea, but in people above all. Love clouds, machines, and books, but people above all. Grieve for the withering branch, the dying star, and the hurt animal, but feel for people above all. Rejoice in all the earth's blessings- darkness and light, the four seasons, but people above all. - Last Letter to my Son ””
