You
Simly Give In And Write & Draw & Send
In Your Piece of Shadow...

Hayatta
en buyuk eglence baskasinin
Yapamazsin dedigini yapmaktir
The
biggest pleasure in life
Is
to do what others claim cannot be done
Walter Bagehot
Ben hergun saatlerce beyaz kagida bakiyorum. Beyaza bakan bir insanin
icinde siddet olamaz zaten
Every day I am looking at a white piece of paper. There can
be no violence in those who look at white
Kutlukhan Perker
Yeteri kadar
nedeniniz varsa
Her
seyi yapabilirsiniz
If
you have enough reasons
You
can do anything
Jim
Rohn
Ya bir yol bul
Ya bir yol ac
Ya da yoldan cekil
Either find a way
Or open a way
Or get out of the way
Mumin Sekban
THE
LIGHT MILLENNIUM IS MADE POSSIBLE AGAINST ALL POSSIBLE
ODDS. IT REALLY IS HARD TO BELIEVE THAT IT HAS
COME SO FAR AND CREATED SUCH A DEDICATED FOLLOWING.

BIRCAN
UNVER IS THE LIGHT BEHIND THE SHADOW PLAY THAT WE SEE
ON THE SCREEN. SHE DOES NOT MANIPULATE, SHE DOES NOT
DICTATE AND SHE DOES NOT MAKE A PENNY FROM ALL THIS!
SHE
SIMPLY TALKS TO YOU LONG ENOUGH THAT YOU SIMPLY GIVE
IN AND WRITE & DRAW & SEND IN YOUR PIECE OF
SHADOW. BIRCAN BELIEVES IN YOU MORE THAN YOU BELIEVE
YOURSELF.
THAT
IS THE REASON BEHIND THE SUCCESS OF THIS.
LET US NOW FINALLY RECOGNIZE BIRCAN AND LET US MAKE HER BELIEVE
IN HERSELF AS MUCH AS SHE BELIEVES IN US.
Cigdem Acar, April 6, 2002, New York
