"Which justice is this? When I came to this palace, I was alone. No one protected me, and everyone was against me. İbrahim Pasha, Hatice Sultan, our late Mother, Mahidevran, everyone! How many times have I come back from death? What insults have I heard, what exiles have I seen, what punishments I have seen or experienced? Everyone said something about me; cruel, witch, wizard, cruel, but no one talked about what was done to me, no one!"

"As all contemporary European observers testified, the Sultan was completely smitten with his new concubine. She quickly ousted the mother of the Sultan’s first-born son, the beautiful Circassian Gulbehar (Mahidevran, in other sources), from the position of favorite concubine. Suleiman’s love for Hurrem found powerful expression in his poetic letters to her. When both Navagero and Trevisano wrote in their 1553 and 1554 reports to Venice that she was “much loved by her master” (“tanto amata da sua maestà”), Roxolana was already in her fifties, long past her prime. After her death in April 1558, Suleiman remained inconsolable for a long time. She was the greatest love of his life, his soulmate and lawful wife, and a woman of extraordinary character. — Galina Yermolenko, Roxelana: the Greatest Empresse of the East

May God bless you, Hurrem. You are my source of joy. I smile at least a little bit because of you. -I'm created for you, but don't forget you are created for me.
