“Your problem is you don't understand what that word means. People think a soul mate is your perfect fit, and that's what everyone wants. But a true soul mate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything that's holding you back, the person who brings you to your attention so you can change your life. A true soul mate is probably the most important person you'll ever meet, because they tear down your walls and smack you awake. But to live with a soul mate forever? Nah. Too painful. Soul mates, they come into your life just to reveal another layer of yourself to you, and then they leave.”
― Elizabeth Gilbert, Eat, Pray, Love

“جربتُ من قبل في حياتي خيبة الأمل فى الحب. أحببتُ فتاة لم تبادلني الحب. عرفت ذلك الألم؛ أن يشعر الإنسان أنه مرفوض وضئيل أمام نفسه ولكنه لا يملك إلا أن يحب سبب ذلك كله.”
― بهاء طاهر

“But love is always new. Regardless of whether we love once, twice, or a dozen times in our life, we always face a brand-new situation. Love can consign us to hell or to paradise, but it always takes us somewhere. We simply have to accept it, because it is what nourishes our existence. If we reject it, we die of hunger, because we lack the courage to stretch out a hand and pluck the fruit from the branches of the tree of life. We have to take love where we find it, even if that means hours, days, weeks of disappointment and sadness.

The moment we begin to seek love, love begins to seek us. And to save us.”
― Paulo Coelho, By the River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept

“You're scared, but just because you can't see your future, doesn't mean I can't. I see it clearly because I can see mine.”
― Amanda Maxlyn, What's Left of Me
