There's different shopping in Paris than there is at a bazaar in Istanbul, but they're all wonderful.

Iris Apfel

If one had but a single glance to give the world, one should gaze on Istanbul.

Alphonse de Lamartine

Marseilles, Barcelona, Trieste, Istanbul - each romances the Mediterranean in its own fashion, mostly by embracing the sea in sweeping C-shaped bays that date back to antiquity.

Andre Aciman

Istanbul is inspiring because it has its own code of architecture, literature, poetry, music.

Christian Louboutin

I ate fantastic Italian food in Croatia, which you wouldn't expect. The food in Istanbul was amazing. I never would've expected that and the food, I guess you're learning something about me, the food in Prague, they're very, very heavy meat eaters, like, a lot of meat, which is great.

Cliff Curtis

At the time when I started, coming out of football, I always used a forearm or an elbow. When it became Bionic is when I said it was Bionic. I went to some secret doctor in Istanbul who put some Bionic stuff in there.

Dusty Rhodes

The first time I held an African drum in my hands was at Koc University in a forest in the northern suburbs of Istanbul.

Elif Batuman

When I was growing up, many of my relatives had never seen a black person before. Today, hundreds, maybe thousands of Africans live in Istanbul's old city alone. It's hard to imagine their lives in their human totality.

Elif Batuman

I read, read enormously on all different fields of Islamic thought, from philosophy to Islamic literature, poetry, exegeses, knowledge of the Hadith, the teachings of the prophet. That's how I trained myself. And then I was appointed imam by a Sufi master from Istanbul, Turkey.

Feisal Abdul Rauf

There's different shopping in Paris than there is at a bazaar in Istanbul, but they're all wonderful.

In Zagreb, the Old Town really could be Prague. You go two hours to the coast to Opatija, and you really could be in the South of France, in the Croatian Riviera. And then you head down the coast towards Split, and you get into more Turkish architecture, so you can double Istanbul.

James Watkins

I see more people taking on the cloak of accountability, more people tiring of the blame game. If we are all connected and our actions in Australia affect us in Istanbul, then we are all to blame and all to be healers. We can't blame lawyers anymore for the 'liability' vs. common sense imbalance.

Jane Siberry

I love visiting churches and I think I've visited every mosque in Istanbul.

Janhvi Kapoor

I once stayed in a roach-infested hotel in Istanbul for a work trip. I had to share my room with a male model, and pointedly all we talked about was our other halves.

Jasmine Guinness

The coffee's good in Italy. It's good in Spain. It's good in Istanbul. The coffee's not so good in America.

Joey Kramer

As a Liverpool fan, I'm an eternal optimist because of what we did in Istanbul in 2005.

Katarina Johnson-Thompson

I left New York after my mother died and, rather aimlessly, had settled in Istanbul for a change of scene. It was a rather dramatic gesture on my part, since I'd lived in New York for 20 years, but I felt I needed something different - the escalating expense and pressure of New York had begun to weary me.

Lawrence Osborne

Within Istanbul, there's a ton of people who are totally hip - like, the hippest people you could ever meet.

Lou Barlow

Chicago is constantly auditioning for the world, determined that one day, on the streets of Barcelona, in Berlin's cabarets, in the coffee shops of Istanbul, people will know and love us in our multidimensional glory, dream of us the way they dream of San Francisco and New York.

Mary Schmich

The head of ISIS called for attacks during the season of Ramadan, which is what you have seen both in Orlando and now in Istanbul at the airport.

Michael McCaul

I have been on dialysis in Istanbul, Milan, Indonesia, Manila, London. It's - it's amazing.
