The forty rules of love - Elif Shafak

Let us choose one another as companions! Let us sit at each other's feet! Inwardly we have many harmonies - think not That we are only what we see.

When I was a child, I saw God, I saw angels; I watched the mysteries of the higher and lower worlds. I thought all men saw the same. At last I realised that they did not see.

Mom!

I said "Please don't do that, I'm not a child". "She'll always be your mom" Dad said.

Suicide Note of Vladimir Mayakovsky.

My beloved boat is broken on the rocks of daily life. I've paid my debts and no longer need to count pains I've suffered at the hands of others. The misfortunes and the insults. Good luck to those who remain.

Em and the big Hoom - Jerry Pinto

Granny tried to offer me consolation. She tried to tell me the story of the King who looked at his ring in good times and in bad. On his ring there was inscribed, 'This too shall pass away.' Like so many young people offered this purulence of cliché, I said in my heart, 'Fuck off, you stupid old shit with your chutiya clichés and your kings with rings.' In real time, confronted by my grandmother's much-loved, guilt-worn slow dissolve of a face, I said, 'I'll make tea.'
