plunged into an endless hibernation

An old intellectual who is despised everywhere, writes articles that seem esoteric but not high-level, but blushing because of someone else's unintentional criticism and argument; he talks about religion, ideals, and loyalty, but he never falls on the grave of his parents. Tears, I never really mourn; I think I am the authority in my family, and I ask about everything, but I dissolve other people's youth in emptiness and boredom; I want to leave my hometown to find myself, but I am scared off by Xiaofengxue.
As his wife said: 'Your strong moral sense makes you hate the world. You hate believers because to you faith is a sign of obsolete ignorance. You also hate unbelievers because they have neither religion nor ideals. You think that conservatives take every step of the way, and their ideas are too cramped; young people are too free to think, and they will attack traditional ideas. You always preach about things that everyone is interested in, but you actually think everyone is a badass, so you hate everyone. '
This kind of character that is unbearable for everyone, shows the common problem of most intellectuals today, 99% of the time is self-contradictory and hating the world, but he refuses to spend the remaining 1% to reflect and change. . Everyone can find their own shadow in the male protagonist. Close the doors and windows, we just need to plunge into an endless hibernation, let the wind and snow roar outside the house, it is best to bury all accusations and criticisms.

Winter Sleep quotes

  • Aydin: Justice doesn't even exist in nature, why should it exist here?

  • Aydin: [Epilogue] Nihal, I didn't go away. I couldn't. Whether it's because I've grown old, or I've gone mad, or because I've become a different man, think what you like. I just don't know. But this new man inside me for a few days won't let me go away. Please, don't ask me to go either. I now understand nothing is calling me to Istanbul. Everything is alien to me there as it is everywhere else. I want you to know that I have no one but you. And I miss you every minute, every second that goes by. But my pride will never let me tell you this. I know very well how to terrible or impossible it would be to part from you. Just as I know that you do not love me anymore. I know we can't go back to the old days. And there is no need to. Take me with you like a servant, like a slave. And let us continue our life even if we do it your way. Forgive me.
