“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.”
― Elif Shafak, The Forty Rules of Love

“I nodded. I liked Augustus Waters. I really, really, really liked him. I liked the way his story ended with someone else. I liked his voice. I liked that he took existentially fraught free throws. I liked that he was a tenured professor in the Department of Slightly Crooked Smiles with a dual appointment in the Department of Having a Voice That Made My Skin Feel More Like Skin. And I liked that he had two names. I’ve always liked people with two names, because you get to make up your mind what you call them: Gus or Augustus? Me, I was always just Hazel, univalent Hazel.”
― John Green, The Fault in Our Stars
