People always told her to fight depression. But I have a feeling that as soon as we see something as our enemy we make it stronger. Like a boomerang. You hurl it away, it comes back and hits you with equal force.

Additional quotes by Elif Şafak

إنني أعتبر الإيمان بهذه الطريقة، مثل البستان فيه ورود مخفية كنت أطوف فيه ذات يومٍ وأستنشق الروائح العطرة التي تعبق منه، لكن لم يعد بإمكاني أن أدخله. أريد أن يعود الله صديقًا لي كما كان ذات مرة، وبهذا الشوق أدور حول تلك الحديقة أبحث عن مدخل لعلي أجد بوابة تمكنني من الدخول.

Which is how I think of faith — like a hidden rose garden where I once roamed and inhaled its perfumed smells but can no longer enter. I want God to be my friend again. With that longing I am
circling that garden, searching for an entrance, hoping to find a gate that will let me in.

إن السعي وراء الخب يغيرنا. فما من أحد يسعى وراء الحب إلا وينضج أثناء رحلته. فما أن تبدأ رحلة البحث عن الحب حتى تبدأ تتغير من الداخل ومن الخارج.
