Elif Shafak. Eve's Three Daughters (№ 406425)

When we fall in love, we turn the object of our love into a deity, that is the danger. If we are not reciprocated, anger, resentment, even hatred awakens in our souls ... After all, love is somewhat similar to faith. Just as blind, don't you think? The sweetest euphoria of all. We feel a mysterious connection with someone who is outside of our own personality, so understandable and familiar. But when love - or faith - engulfs us entirely, it turns into dogma, stops developing. Sweetness gives way to bitterness. We begin to suffer under the rule of the deity, which we ourselves have created.
