The one person who will never leave us, whom we will never lose, is ourself. Learning to love our female selves is where our search for love must begin. ↗

I’m willing to die for the woman I love. I just want to take 75 years to do it. ↗

I want to be a woman who lives totally abandoned to the first commandment: to love my Lord, my God, with all my heart. I don’t want the reputation that I love God, I don’t want to write songs about loving God, I don’t want to talk about loving God. I want to actually love God. When I close my eyes, I want my heart to move. When I close my eyes and I look at Him, I want to feel alive on the inside. I want to look at Him with a fire in my heart and it’s real. ↗

Moon, moon, when you leave me alone all the darkness is an utter blackness, a pit of fear, a stench, hands unreasonable never to touch. But I love you. Do you love me. What to say when you see me. ↗

Sanma ki derdim güneşten ötürü; Ne çıkar bahar geldiyse? Bademler çiçek açtıysa? Ucunda ölüm yok ya. Hoş, olsa da korkacak mıyım zaten Güneşle gelecek ölümden Ben ki her nisan bir yaş daha genç, Her bahar biraz daha aşığım; Korkar mıyım? Ah, dostum, derdim başka... ↗

Many women arrange their lives around the people they love. Unfortunately, that arrangement takes up most of our days. ↗

I love women’s breasts. I love how they don’t blink when I stare at them.

I love Prada. Not so much the clothes, which are for malnourished thirteen-year-olds, but I covet, with covety covetousness, the shoes and handbags. Like, I LOVE them. If I was given a choice between world peace and a Prada handbag, I'd dither. (I'm not proud of this, I'm only saying.) ↗

One should remember that where nobody flees, there is no pursuer: that where there are no little fish, there can be no big ones. Why does the girl not require her lover a noble and honoured name, a manly heart to protect her weakness, and a resolute spirit which will not be satisfied with engendering slaves? Let her discard all fear, behave nobly and yield not her youth to the weak and faint-hearted. ↗
