Additional quotes by Elif Şafak

وحتى لو كان قد تبقى من حياتك يوم واحد يشبه اليوم الذي سبقه ، فإن ذلك يدعو للرثاء . ففي كل لحظة ، ومع كل نفس جديد ، يجب على المرء أن يتجدد ويتجدد ثانية . ولا توجد إلا وسيلة واحدة حتى يولد المرء في حياة جديدة وهي أن يموت قبل الموت.

تنبع معظم مشاكل العالم من أخطاء لغوية ومن سوء فهم بسيط. لا تأخذ الكلمات بمعناها الظاهري مطلقا، وعندما تلج دائرة الحب تكون اللغة التي نعرفها قد عُفى عليها الزمن، فالشيء الذي لا يمكن التعبير عنه بكلمات لا يمكن إدراكه إلا بالصمت.

Don't ask yourself what kind of love you should seek, spiritual or material, divine or mundane, Eastern or Western. Divisions only lead to more divisions. Love has no labels, no definitions. It is what it is, pure and simple. Love is the water of life and a lover is a soul of fire! The universe turns differently when fire loves water.
