Read the continuation of Elchin Safarli’s quotes and aphorisms on the pages:

Love weaned me from looking for answers in books, trying on the stories of other people’s heroines, listening to sentimental musical ballads with the thought: God, this is about me! That's all about me! Regarding questions of your own destiny, you should turn to your heart. It, wise, knocks from our first second to our last - like an experienced radio operator sending important encrypted messages into the air. Why do we trust anyone but ourselves? The heart knows best about what is irretrievably gone and about bright hope. And only having lost contact with him, we fill ourselves with cones and collect scars.

Jealous of pigeons. Their freedom and trust. I'm not in a cage. I'm free with clipped wings. I can take off, but not fly away.

I'm waiting for autumn. With such impatience that she is ready to sacrifice all other seasons to her. And I won’t regret what I did at all. I need autumn. Very very. She will bring into the light those who are driven into the dark corner of survival. She will not force you to repeat the cruel but true words: “If we are all alone, then in loneliness we are all together.” Autumn is called the season of sadness. I don’t agree: real sadness comes with summer, when there is no one to share the generosity of the sun with...

I look in the mirror, and in the reflection I see not myself, but you. That's how it should be. Lovers become a reflection of each other. I can’t live without you and I know you can’t live without me. Together forever. Repeat after me... Helps. “No memories without you”

I try to catch time, stop it, squeeze it in my arms, but it’s all in vain. It flies away, is carried away. He smiles boastfully from above, proud of his superiority.

Will reward or burn...

My hope is... mmm... Even if the world disappears, we will still find each other... Even if the nights disappear, we will shine as stars in the daytime... That is my hope. "I'll come back"

Love. A stream of people forever touching and diverging with sad eyes. It is incredibly difficult for me to believe that the strongest feeling that exists is the most short-lived. The realization came to me a long time ago, without grief. But every time you take the path new love, I close my eyes, mentally write and erase two questions to which no one knows the answer: how long?, how soon?.

Women leave magical nights for men to say goodbye. Women's traces on men's hearts. The night before the separation, she kissed differently than usual. Her kisses froze on my body, like snowflakes on an icy window. For some reason it was getting cold. Now I understand. Farewell kisses lose their warmth. They contain the cooled tenderness of parting... On the last night she looked at me differently than usual. There is alienation in the gaze. Alienation in opposition to love. She understood that it was time for her, but in every possible way she delayed the hour of leaving. The struggle of soul and mind. Reason won. Gone. Now I understand. There is no melancholy in the look before separation. There is a silent protest in it. A protest against yourself. Feelings lose to reason. More often…

You can't do anything about the length of your life, but you can do something about its width and depth.

Spring rain smells like hope. There is no irreversible loss in it, as in precipitation from other seasons. You don’t want to watch the spring rain from the sidelines, immersed in the atmosphere of home comfort. Under it you want to live, love, hope. Count the drops, lose count, catch them with your tongue, remembering the taste of the freshness of a new time. Spring rain similar to a mint cocktail with ice cubes. A cocktail from spring, so reminiscent of summer.

Memory also has immunity - it erases what brings pain.

Ask: what did I love most in this life? I answer: everyday life. Their beginnings and endings, their victories and defeats, their losses and gains. There was not even a claim to uniqueness in them.

I believe that we will finally win back feelings from circumstances. "I'll come back"

Love with a bound heart. Have you ever had this happen? When there is no way back or forward. There is only a place where you stand and cannot move...

Life goes on while there is White color. Like, while it flutters on the balcony ropes, it spins in a drum washing machine, glows in the dark and contrasts with tanned skin, everything will be fine. There is great truth in these words. It is important not only to see all shades of white in yourself, but also to notice them in the world around you. It is not difficult. White is both strong and persistent. Doesn't fade, doesn't fade...

Every man sooner or later thinks about the meaning of life. Well, how long can you work, drink, fuck and suffer with bullshit? My daughters are the meaning that I needed, although you know how afraid I was to start a family. I can’t imagine how people live without children. When you don't trip over toys at night and no one rushes towards your Hey, who's home? Yes, old man, you can call me a sentimental asshole, but it’s nonsense that a family is a heavy shackle for a man. I feel good! Of course, I get tired of my wife from time to time, but the love of my children compensates for a lot, if not all.

It is impossible to hide from yourself. There is no point in running anywhere. The pain will come back anyway. It will take you back to where the traces of hopelessness begin. Time makes peace with itself. He stands in front of you as a mirror, healing the scars of your heart in the reflection. You look at yourself and, through the web of despair, you realize that you want to move on. Live, believe, wait again. Smile at the curly clouds, overeat on cherry ice cream, feel the tickling of bubbles in your nose from drinking soda, kiss lips shimmering under the moon. No pain can turn a person away from life. For any locked door there are keys that can be used to unlock it.

We women are taking a decisive step forward after taking two steps back.

Childhood is something that we have lost in time, but have kept within ourselves.

Children are able to forgive absolutely everything. Resentments take root as you grow older... “Love from the Bottom of the Bosphorus”

Returning always brings happiness, no matter what burden in your soul you return with.

The suffering is endless. Some were spent, the next ones appeared. We have to choose: live fighting them, or live not paying attention to them. Of course, there will be no absolute deliverance, but it is possible to change the attitude towards sadness

Again I’m waiting for the unexpected, for something that will make me very surprised and walk around happy for a long time after that.

Life is like fluff from a torn pillow - 1000 opportunities to catch, 999 of them are empty...

Where you meet love, space shrinks to the heart of one person...

It’s good when there is something to remember, and even better when there is nothing to forget.

Memory also has immunity - it erases what brings pain. “There without going back”

There is such a lack of human warmth in Moscow that some people compensate for it with nuclear heating.

Fernando’s words come to mind: I kept waiting for the one who would become my destiny to appear. Just like in the books. It's rare for anyone to be so lucky. Personally, I was unlucky... Brother, don’t bet high bar in personal life. Our halves are also the fruit of our efforts. It is possible to sculpt what you wanted. Not right away, of course. With time. We men are most often to blame for our loneliness, subconsciously choosing freedom.”

In love, a man should give a woman not only flowers, but also the feeling that everything is just beginning for them.

Stop the earth at the turn, I decided to get off...

A man in the kitchen is not only flattering, but also terribly sexy.

Love makes a woman weak. Wise women are those who pass off weakness as loyalty...

Living differently is true madness. This is the biggest love mistake...

I know only one reason for the collapsed relationship, it has nothing to do with the stamp in the passport. Understatement. It all starts with her.

Love is not a situation. Love is a reward.

The longer you wait, the more likely it is that you are waiting in the wrong place.

I'm afraid of the word "hate". It is too weighty and destructive. “I hate” easily shatters thousands of human hearts. Forever.

One day you will find yourself by the sea, and it will carry away the pain of memories on its waves. Each of us has our own sea.

They often wait for us exactly where we don’t want to return.

If the past does not let go, then it has not passed yet.

Do you know what the meaning of the reproach “it’s difficult with you” is? "You have not lived up to my royal expectations for you."

“Unhappy love is like... a sore throat. Quite compatible with life, it’s just unpleasant, but it’s impossible not to think about it. Tea with lemon and honey helps for a while, and also time and silence. When you speak, it only hurts more - it even takes your breath away. Therefore, it’s better to sit down and write it down. With each letter, the painful thing becomes painful. True, you won’t feel it right away - the effect comes a little later.”

Love is a capricious product, and storage conditions are so important to it.

Women tend to shop rather than try. This is the main difference!

Love has two barriers - circumstances and fears. We often lack the courage to step over the stones of the past and the doubts of the present.

There must be jealousy in a man. But it should not be visible, like salt in delicious food.

A man, even despite the armor of selfishness, understands that a woman is better.
