    Dan Pearce
    “Share your weaknesses. Share your hard moments. Share your real side. It'll either scare away every fake person in your life or it will inspire them to finally let go of that mirage called "perfection," which will open the doors to the most important relationships you'll ever be a part of.”

    Elif Shafak
    “Patience does not mean to passively endure. It means to be farsighted enough to trust the end result of a process. What does patience mean? It means to look at the thorn and see the rose, to look at the night and see the dawn. Impatience means to be so shortsighted as to not be able to see the outcome. The lovers of God never run out of patience, for they know that time is needed for the crescent moon to become full.”

    Elif Shafak
    “Bountiful is your life, full and complete. Or so you think, until someone comes along and makes you realize what you have been missing all this time. Like a mirror that reflects what is absent rather than present, he shows you the void in your soul—the void you have resisted seeing. That person can be a lover, a friend, or a spiritual master. Sometimes it can be a child to look after. What matters is to find the soul that will complete
    yours. All the prophets have given the same advice: Find the one who will be your mirror!".”

    “حبسوه
    قبل أن يتهموه!
    عذبوه
    قبل أن يستجوبوه!
    أطفأوا سيجارة في مقلتيه
    عرضوا بعض التصاوير عليه:
    قل.. لمن هذه الوجوه؟
    قال لا أبصر.
    قصواشفتيه!
    طلبوا منه اعترافاً
    حول من قد جندوه.
    لم يقل شيئاً
    ولما عجزوا أن ينطقوه
    شنقوه!
    بعد شهر برأوه!
    أدركوا أن الفتى
    ليس هو المطلوب أصلاً
    بل أخوه.
    ومضوا نحو الأخ الثاني
    ولكن.. وجدوه
    ميتاً من شدة الحزن
    فلم يعتقلوه!!”

    Terry Pratchett
    “Why do you go away? So that you can come back. So that you can see the place you came from with new eyes and extra colors. And the people there see you differently, too. Coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving.”
