" "There was something childlike in the way grown-ups had a need for stories. They held a naive belief that by telling an inspiring anecdote-the right fable at the right time-they could lift their children's moods, motivate them to great achievements and simply change reality. There was no point in telling them that life was more complicated than that and words less magical than they presumed.

Additional quotes by Elif Şafak
"قاعدة أخرى
يتكون الفكر والحب من مواد مختلفة
فالفكر يربط البشر في عقد
لكن الحب يذيب جميع العقد
إن الفكر حذر علي الدوام وهو يقول ناصحا "احذر الكثير من النشوة" بينما الحب يقول "لا تكترث أقدم على هذه المجازفة" وفي حين أن الفكر لا يمكن أن يتلاشى بسهولة
فإن الحب يتهدم بسهولة ويصبح ركاما من تلقاء نفسه لكن الكنوز تتواري بين الأنقاض
والقلب الكسير يخبئ كنوزا."
