Quote by Elif Shafak

“He was losing his faith in his workmanship. Little did he know, back then, that the worth of one's faith depended not on how solid and strong it was , but on how many times one would lose it and still be able to get it back.”

“The power of the universe is in your veins. So, when you are at your wits' end, for once let go of your troubles, and say out loud - "give me strength". It doesn't matter whatsoever to whom you say it. Just say it, because regardless of whether someone is listening to your cry for help, the universe inside your mind is always listening. And when it’s made aware of your desperation, it'll rush to your aid and fill you with vigor from inside.”

“Occasionally even I fall short in the strength department, and in those times of heartache and loneliness, never do I say, "please, take away my weakness", instead I utter, to whom I don't know, and I don’t care, "give me strength". Or perhaps, I do know to whom I am saying it, but it took me a long time to accept the hard reality of the matter. As long as I keep it a secret as to who is the source of my strength, people will speculate and bring in all sorts of mystical notions, due to the lack of facts, but the moment I reveal to you most blatantly and rather clearly that, I am the source of my own strength, then suddenly all the mysticism and mystery vanish into thin air, and what remains is the exuberant radiance of truth.”
