Quote by Елиф Шафак

“„Търпението не означава да стискаш зъби и да не правиш нищо. То означава да си достатъчно прозорлив, за да се довериш на крайния резултат от процеса. Какво означава търпението! То означава да гледаш бодлите и да виждаш розата, да гледаш нощта и да виждаш зората. Нетърпението означава да си толкова късоглед, че да не виждаш резултата. Който обича Бога, остава търпелив, понеже знае, че се иска време непълната луна да стане пълна.”

“The Poem That Took The Place Of A Mountain There it was, word for word, The poem that took the place of a mountain. He breathed its oxygen, Even when the book lay turned in the dust of his table. It reminded him how he had needed A place to go to in his own direction How he had recomposed the pines, Shifted the rocks and picked his way among clouds For the outlook that would be right, Where he would be complete in an unexplained completion: The exact rock where his inexactness Would discover, at last, the view toward which they had edged Where he could lie and gazing down at the sea, Recognize his unique and solitary home.”

“I see it all through the lens of my camera—the flurry of movement, the venue staff in black T-shirts, giving orders into their headsets. As I take it all in, my mind weighs the texture, the composition, the possibility of each changing scene, and I struggle to hold back, to keep my finger from pressing too soon. That’s my biggest flaw as a photographer. I’m impatient—trigger-happy. I want the shot now, now, now, click, click, click, and if I could just wait a second more, the moment would really flourish.”
