Additional quotes by Elif Şafak

We were all created in His image, and yet we were each created different and unique. No two people are alike. No two hearts beat to the same rhythm. If God had wanted everyone to be the same, He would have made it so. Therefore, disrespecting differences and imposing your thoughts on others is tantamount to disrespecting God’s holy scheme.

فاجعل قلبك، لا عقلك، دليلك الرئيسي. واجه، تحدّ، وتغلب في نهاية المطاف على "النفس" بقلبك. إن معرفتك بنفسك ستقودك إلى معرفة الله."
