Love is very important. Suffering through ordeals is very important. Wherever there is a person in need, wherever there is a suffering person, if he is an artist, he would become a genuine artist. A person who hasn’t suffered any pain would instantly be felt. He would instantly be known.

There has to be art everywhere, the artists should be protected. By founding a Ministry of Quality and Arts, all the beauties of art should be presented to our people.

If you regard arts as unsavory, if you despise music, painting, sculpture and architecture, if you attempt to run away from a house with paintings, if you say "dogs are evil, you should chase off them when you see them," such a country would never advance. The reason why Europe advanced is because they are open to arts and science.

If artists are not appreciated properly, art will disappear completely in time and then the world will be tarnished. The beauty of the world would then be destroyed. Artists are the ones that beautify the world.

Artists are teachers of love, teachers of beauty. The door should be opened all the way for artists. A Ministry of Arts and Aesthetics should be established.

Artists should be given prominence. Their love, their affection, would have a positive impact on society. Artists have a special kindness, they have a special quality of the soul. They could be a very nice example for society in that respect.

Leaving an artist to his own means during his difficulties is a lack of good conscience. First of all, an artist should not struggle to make a living. They should be provided a perfect life. The state has many means, so these means should be at their disposal so that they can comfortably perform their art. If you force them into a life struggling to make a living, how could they perform? How could they perform under these conditions?

Artists are people of love. People of love live on love. Artists would die if you do not show love to them. They won't be able to perform art either. You need to applaud them, encourage them, compliment them, award them and blandish them. They need to know that they are loved to feel exuberant.

Let there be freedom, let there be democracy. Let everyone strive for that with all their might. That is because wisdom, the arts and science develops in a free environment. Under the pressure of a state, wisdom will be atrophied. People would not have power of understanding. There would be no artists, no scientists. Industry atrophies, people lose their eagerness to work.

Our state should make a regulation that would give all of them free services in hospitals. We should make an effort to help them have a healthy long life.

Artists like Arif Şentürk do not come so often. It would be great if our state could give medals to such great artists. And we would feel very reliefed if they are put on a good salary.

Let us build a pool in Taksim as big as an artificial lake. Let us bring Italian artists and have very artful sculptures around that pool.

A real artist would be a man of love, he would be humble, his manners would be very upright.

We have a handful of artists and they are the adornments of our people. Their value should be well appreciated.

In the time of the system of the Mahdi, artists will appear. Very enthusiastic architects, engineers, scientists will appear insha'Allah.

The genuine artists are dieing one after the other. Our Prophet (pbuh) informs us in his hadiths that this is a characteristic of the End Times.

Everyone should support artists everyone should approach them with compassion. Artists belong to the whole world.

Since artists are not appreciated as much as they deserve, there are few artists around the world. However, painters and sculptors should be held in high esteem and such occupations should be regarded distinguished. They should be appreciated everywhere.

God is the Real Artist. It is important to know the Real Artist Who created the artists.

God is the One Who creates all those statues and paintings. God makes those artists instrumental in their creation. Those works of art were all created in destiny long before their artists were born.

Prominent artists, politicians and celebrities should assume the mission of being a role model about talking nicely and encourage the youth.

What is most desired for being high-quality is to have an artistic soul. A Muslim should have an artistic soul. Without that it is impossible to see the niceties of Heaven.

One with an artistic soul would never have enough of beauty. Such a person sees the beauties while those looking with an evil eye only see negativities.

In social incidents artists must not remain silent; they must speak up.

Developing women’s freedom, supporting arts and artists, attaching importance to refinement eliminates the rationale behind a coup.
