“ما لا يمكن التعبير عنه بكلمات, لا يمكن إدراكه إلا بالصمت.”
― Elif Shafak, The Forty Rules of Love

“ليس من مهمتنا أن يحكم أحدنا على إيمان الآخر.”
― Elif Shafak, The Forty Rules of Love

“If you want to strengthen your faith, you will need to soften inside. For your faith to be rock solid, your heart needs to be as soft as a feather. Through an illness, accident, loss or fright, one way or another, we all are faced with incidents that teach us how to become less selfish and judgmental, and more compassionate and generous. Yet some of us learn the lesson and manage to become milder, while some others end up becoming even harsher than before. The only way to get closer to Truth is to expand your heart so that it will encompass all humanity and still have room for more Love.”
― Elif Shafak, The Forty Rules of Love

“Real filth is the one inside. The rest simply washes off. There is only one type of dirt that cannot be cleansed with pure waters, and that is the stain of hatred and bigotry contaminating the soul. You can purify your body through abstinence and fasting, but only love will purify your heart.”
― Elif Shafak, The Forty Rules of Love
