Quotes by Rajaa Alsanea (?)

“Apparently, all men were the same. It was like God had given them different faces just so that women would be able to tell them apart.”

“When love has been in your life you see that the only true, real pleasure of life is love. Every other thrill arises from that basic source of pleasure. The most meaningful songs are those your lover hums in your presence, the prettiest blossoms are the ones he offers and the only praise that counts is your beloved's. In a word or two, life only goes Technicolor in the very moment love's fingers caress it.”

“Svako ko je proživeo ljubav i ko zna koliko daleko ona može ići, nikada ne može biti zadovoljan s ljubavlju koja je osrednja. Sada ne mogu pristati na manje. Jednostavno ne mogu! Moja ljubav prema njemu - bila je ljubav mog života. Gle, iako sam ga izagnala iz svog života, on još uvek u mojoj glavi stoji kao kip prema kojem merim svakog drugog muškarca, i na žalost, svima drugima nešto fali. I naravno, ja sam ta koja gubi takvim usporedbama.”
