Quote by Elif Shafak

“Tijekom svog dugog života mnogo sam puta promatrala psihooško njihalo na kojem se klati ljudska priroda. Svakih nekoliko desetjeća zanjišu se u neobuzdani optimizam i inzistiraju sve vidjeti kroz ružičasti filter, ali događaji ih uvijek izazovu i potresu, i katapultiraju natrag u uobičajenu apatiju i depresiju.”
