“تنبع معظم مشاكل العالم من أخطاء لغوية ومن سوء فهم بسيط. لا تأخذ الكلمات بمعناها الظاهري مطلقاً. وعندما تلج دائرة الحبّ، تكون اللغة التي نعرفها قد عفيَّ عليها الزمن، فالشيء الذي لا يمكن التعبير عنه بكلمات، لا يمكن إدراكه إلا بالصمت.”
― إليف شافاق, The Forty Rules of Love

“Happiness is the consequence of personal effort. You fight for it, strive for it, insist upon it, and sometimes even travel around the world looking for it. You have to participate relentlessly in the manifestations of your own blessings. And once you have achieved a state of happiness, you must never become lax about maintaining it. You must make a mighty effort to keep swimming upward into that happiness forever, to stay afloat on top of it.”
― Elizabeth Gilbert, Eat, Pray, Love

“The real lover is the man who can thrill you by kissing your forehead or smiling into your eyes or just staring into space.”
― Marilyn Monroe

“If you end up with a boring miserable life because you listened to your mom, your dad, your teacher, your priest, or some guy on television telling you how to do your shit, then you deserve it.”
― Frank Zappa
