“Why do people have to be this lonely? What's the point of it all? Millions of people in this world, all of them yearning, looking to others to satisfy them, yet isolating themselves. Why? Was the earth put here just to nourish human loneliness?”
― Haruki Murakami, Sputnik Sweetheart

“Stop acting so small. You are the universe in ecstatic motion.”
― Rumi

“Every true love and friendship is a story of unexpected transformation. If we are the same person before and after we loved, that means we haven't loved enough.”
― Elif Shafak, The Forty Rules of Love

“غير أن المرأة لا تصير أمّا بمجرد الإنجاب،بل عليها أن تتعلم الأمومة، إنها معرفة. يأخذ استيعابها عند البعض وقتًا أطول من الآخرين.فهناك مثيلاتى، من يجدن أنفسهن يرتعشن حتى العظام من هول التجربة.”
― Elif Shafak, Black Milk: On Writing, Motherhood, and the Harem Within
