" "Patience does not mean to passively endure. It means to be farsighted enough to trust the end result of a process. What does patience mean? It means to look at the thorn and see the rose, to look at the night and see the dawn. Impatience means to be so short-sighted as to not be able to see the outcome. The lover’s of God never run out of patience, for they know that time is needed for the crescent moon to become full. (9)

Additional quotes by Elif Şafak
- Правило номер четирийсет - каза бавно Ела. - Живот без любов не е живот. Не се питай към каква любов да се стремиш, духовна или материална, божествена или земна, източна или западна.
Започнеш ли да делиш нещата, възниква ново и ново делене. Любовта няма етикети, няма определения. Тя просто е това, което е.
Любовта е жива вода. А влюбеният е душа от огън!
Светът се върти по друг начин, когато огънят обикне водата.
