Quote by Elif Shafak

“How many more calamities do we have to experience for the sinners in this town to get the message and repent their ways? Next I fear stones will rain down from above. One day soon we might all be wiped out, walking in the footsteps of the residents of Sodom and Gomorrah.”

“Most folks don't see the wrong in their actions because they hang around people that normalise it. They move recklessly, lie without hesitation, and betray without a second thought because their circle enables it. In their world, this is normal. And the thing is, if you spend enough time in the mud, you just stop noticing the smell. That's why when God wants to use a man for His purpose, He first separates him. He will proceed to wash, clean, bend, and stretch you, but you won't break. Just yield to the process.”

“Ich wusste es. Ich spürte es, wenn der Wind meinen Körper umgarnte und dabei ein wohlig frisches Gefühl hinterließ. Ich spürte es, wenn meine Ohren, das Geräusch des Meeres vernahmen. Ich spürte es, wenn ich das Licht erblickte, wie es die endlose Wolkendecke durchbrach. Ich spürte es, wenn das kühle Nass meine Zehen in sich aufnahm. Ich spürte es, wenn meine Nase den Geruch eines jungen Frühlingsregens genoss. Ich spürte es, wenn ich den Mut besaß hinzuschauen.”
