“إن الطريقة التي نرى فيها الله ما هي إلا انعكاس للطريقة التي نرى فيها أنفسنا. فإذا لم يكن الله يجلب إلى عقولنا سوى الخوف والملام فهذا يعني أن قدرًا كبيرًا من الخوف والملامة يتدفق في نفوسنا. أما إذا رأينا الله مفعما بالمحبة والرحمة، فإننا نكون كذلك.”
― إليف شافاق, The Forty Rules of Love

“Can you remember who you were, before the world told you who you should be?”
― Danielle LaPorte

“They say marry the person with whom you are the closest to, the guy with whom you can share your 3 am thoughts with, sitting on a rooftop and discussing random things like why cavemen were hirsute or why the earth isn’t a square. The genie who knows what you want before you open your mouth. The angel who reads your mind before you can articulate your thoughts. The friend you can laugh and cry with. The brother whose arms are safer than any amount of security and protection the outside world can provide you. The parent that will support you through thick and thin, no matter what. The soul whose love for them in the river of your heart will never dilute, even when the currents get rough, and the waters, dark. The fellow who would tell you that he loves you every night and spend the day proving it through little gestures that speak much louder than any words of love. The person with whom you can hold hands when you turn eighty and announce to the world- ‘we made it!”
― Faraaz Kazi, More Than Just Friends

“I love you just the way you are
but you don't see you like I do.
You shouldn't try so hard to be perfect.
Trust me, perfect should try to be you.”
― Bo Burnham, Egghead; or, You Can't Survive on Ideas Alone
