Music to the deaf,
A word out of darkness.”

“What is love?”
“I don’t know.”
“Love is the name given to the bond Kemal feels with Füsun whenever they travel along highways or sidewalks; visit houses, gardens, or rooms; or whenever he watches her sitting in tea gardens and restaurants, and at dinner tables.”
“Hmmm … that’s a lovely answer,~ But isn’t love what you feel when you can’t see me?”
“Under those circumstances, it becomes a terrible obsession, an illness.”
― Orhan Pamuk, The Museum of Innocence

“The gap between compassion and surrender is love’s darkest, deepest region.”
― Orhan Pamuk, The Museum of Innocence
