لكنها كانت واثقة من أنها لا تستطيع أن تعرف حدودها إلا عندما تتجاوزها - Elif Şafak

If we are the same person before and after we loved, that means we haven't loved enough.

How can love be worthy of its name if one selects solely the pretty things and leaves out the hardships? It is easy to enjoy the good and dislike the bad. Anybody can do that. The real challenge is to love the good and the bad together, not because you need to take the rough with the smooth but because you need to go beyond such descriptions and accept love in its entirety.

No one can survive alone – except the Almighty God. And remember, in the desert of life, the fool travels alone and the wise by caravan.
