"Bountiful is your life, full and complete. Or so you think, until someone comes along and makes you realize what you have been missing all this time… - Elif Şafak

"Bountiful is your life, full and complete. Or so you think, until someone comes along and makes you realize what you have been missing all this time. Like a mirror that reflects what is absent rather than present, he shows you the void in your soul — the void you have resisted seeing. That person can be a lover, a friend, or a spiritual master. Sometimes it can be a child to look after. What matters is to find the soul that will complete
yours. All the prophets have given the same advice: Find the one who will be your mirror!".

Additional quotes by Elif Şafak

التحدي الحقيقي هو أن يحب المرء الأشياء الجيدة والسيئة معاً لا لأنه يجب أن يتقبل الأشياء بحلوها ومرها؛ بل لأنه يجب أن يتجاوز هذه الأوصاف وأن يتقبل الحب برمته.

It seemed to Leila that human beings exhibited a profound impatience with the milestones of their existence. For one thing, they assumed that you automatically became a wife or a husband the moment you said, ‘I do!’ But the truth was, it took years to learn how to be married. Similarly, society expected maternal – or paternal – instincts to kick in as soon as one had a child. In fact, it could take quite a while to figure out how to be a parent – or a grandparent, for that matter. Ditto with retirement and old age.
