Word has it, they think I'm an old man, and they're not gonna double me. My message is that I'm the baddest for my age bracketest. What I mean by age bracketest is that I came in at 20, I was the baddest 20, and I'm the baddest at 35.

Words are heavy in Turkey, and every writer, every poet and every journalist knows that, because of a word, because of a sentence, because of a tweet or even a retweet, you can be sued, you can be demonized by the media and you can even land in prison.

Words can't say this. The one word love means too little for what it is. It means everything and that is still not enough.

Words have no word for words that are not true.
W. H. Auden

Words are clamor-filled shells. There's many a story in the miniature of a single word!
