Additional quotes by Elif Şafak

غير أن المرأة لا تصير أمّا بمجرد الإنجاب،بل عليها أن تتعلم الأمومة، إنها معرفة. يأخذ استيعابها عند البعض وقتًا أطول من الآخرين.فهناك مثيلاتى، من يجدن أنفسهن يرتعشن حتى العظام من هول التجربة.

In many parts of the world you were what you said and what you did and, also, what you read; in Turkey, as in all countries haunted by questions of identity, you were, primarily, what you rejected.

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.
