    “Most of the problems of the world stem from linguistic mistakes and simple misunderstandings. Don't ever take words at face value. When you step into the zone of love, language as we know it becomes obsolete. That which cannot be put into words can only be grasped through silence.”

    Elif Shafak
    “قاعدة أخرى
    الوحدة والخلوة شيئان مختلفان , فعندما تكون وحيدا
    من السهل أن تخدع نفسك ويخيل إليك أنك تسير على الطريق القويم
    أما الخلوة فهي أفضل لنا لأنها تعني أنك تكون وحدك من دون أن تشعر أنك وحيد
    لكن في نهاية الأمر , من الأفضل لك أن تبحث عن شخص
    شخص يكون بمثابة مرآة لك
    تذكر أنك لا تستطيع أن ترى نفسك حقا ,إلا في قلب شخص آخر
    وبوجود الله في داخلك.”

    “حياتك حافلة، مليئة، كاملة، أو هكذا يخيل إليك، حتى يظهر فيها شخص يجعلك تدرك ما كنت تفتقده طوال هذا الوقت.
    مثل مرآة تعكس الغائب لا الحاضر، تريك الفراغ فى روحك، الفراغ الذى كنت تقاوم رؤيته.”
