Additional quotes by Elif Şafak

كن رحيماً ولا تكن نمّاماً حتى لو كانت كلماتك بريئة ، لأن الكلمات التي تنبعث من أفواهنا لا تتلاشى بل تظل في الفضاء اللانهائي إلى ما لا نهاية وستعود إلينا في الوقت المناسب . إن معاناة إنسان واحد تؤذينا جميعا. وبهجة إنسان واحد تجعلنا جميعا نبتسم . هكذا تقول إحدى قواعد العشق.
