I slept peacefully that night, feeling exultant and determined. Little did I know that I was making the most common and the most painful mistake women have made all throughout the ages: to naively think that with their love they can change the man they love.

Si no le cuentas a nadie lo extraordinario, todo el mundo supone que es normal.
Elif Shafakİnsan belli bir yaşa gelince kendi hudutları ve hatalarıyla barışmaya başlıyor.
Elif ShafakBakışıyoruz. Sonunda geldi işte o an. Benden ne kadar nefret ettiğini gösterebilecek.Ben de hislerinin karşılıksız olmadığını.Artık rol yapmaya gerek yok.Olduğumuzdan daha iyiymişiz gibi yapmayacağız artık. Neysek oyuz.
Elif ShafakBüyüdükçe ve peşinden koştuğu her emeli elinden kaçırdıkça bütün şeylerin geçici olduğunu karar verdi.
Elif Shafak..zira biliyordu ki minnettar olunca daha zordu delirmek.
Elif Shafakİnsanın canı kadar sevdiği birini oyuna getirebileceği aklının ucundan dahi geçmemişti. O güne dek bilmezdi, birine bütün kalbinle muhabbet besleyip yine de onu incitmek istemenin mümkün olabileceğini.
Elif ShafakNo reason to feel depressed about being depressed. A depression can be a golden opportunity to collect the pieces and build ourselves anew. Global Souls are always on the move, nomads at heart, connected to various cities, commuters between cultures, both from here and everywhere.

My interest in Sufism began when I was a college student. At the time, I was a rebellious young woman who liked to wrap several shawls of ‘-isms’ around her shoulders: I was a leftist, feminist, nihilist, environmentalist, anarcho-pacifist…I wasn’t interested in any religion and the difference between ‘religiosity’ and ‘spirituality’ was lost to me. Having spent some time of my childhood with a loving grandmother with many superstitions and beliefs, I had a sense the world was not composed of solely material things and there was more to life than I could see. But the truth is, I wasn’t interested in understanding the world. I only wanted to change it.
Elif ShafakI like to borrow a metaphor from the great poet and mystic Rumi who talks about living like a drawing compass. One leg of the compass is static. It is fixed and rooted in a certain spot. Meanwhile, the other leg draws a huge wide circle around the first one, constantly moving. Just like that, one part of my writing is based in Istanbul. It has strong local roots. Yet at the same time the other part travels the whole wide world, feeling connected to several cities, cultures, and peoples.
