"I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you simply, without problems or pride: I love you in this way because I do not know any other way of loving but this, in which there is no I or you, so intimate that your hand upon my waist is my hand, so intimate that when I fall asleep your eyes close"
Meylisah Hatun
Haseki Meylisah Sultan"I had no control over my heart beating for you and I have no hand right now in loving you unconditionally"
Prince Selim
"I never thought I would love someone so much to the point I'm ready to die for them. You bought the best out of me and that's what I count as love, my dear"
Haseki Hurrem Sultan
"I raised you as a daughter and when you broke the rules I feared that I will lose you and my son but then love won as it always does"
Sultan Suleiman Khan
"I cherish every son of mine in my own way but I never thought I will be able to love Selim as much as his siblings for his mistakes"
Mihrimah Sultan
"I never thought that my brother will ever change yet my expectations were changed by a sentence from you"
Prince Beyazid
"Me and Selim didn't get along since we were children and I never expected for a day that I will get along with him no matter how much we tried to"
Prince Cihangir
"My brothers never liked each other much and that's why Mustafa was my favorite for he loved us all the same and treated us the same"
Prince Mustafa
"Selim and Beyazid never got along and I found that very concerning because in the end we were all the sultan's children and we should always be on our best behavior to maintain his image"
"Lost love is still love. It takes a different form, that's all. You can't see their smile or bring them food or tousle their hair or move them around a dance floor. But when those senses weaken another heightens. Memory. Memory becomes your partner. You nurture it. You hold it. You dance with it"
