“A great deal; you are good to those who are good to you. It is all I ever desire to be. If people were always kind and obedient to those who are cruel and unjust, the wicked people would have it all their own way; they would never feel afraid, and so they would never alter, but would grow worse and worse. When we are struck at without a reason, we should strike back again very hard; I am sure we should - so hard as to teach the person who struck us never to do it again.”
― Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre

― Elif Shafak, The Forty Rules of Love

“بعض الناس يتغذون عبى تعاسات الآخرين، ولا يحبّون رؤية أن ينخفض عدد البؤساء على وجه الأرض".”

“من الغرابة أن تقول ذلك لامرأة تفكر بالماضي كثيراً, وتفكر بالمستقبل أكثر, لكن بطريقة ما, لم تمسّها اللحظة الراهنة.”
