First: you say you feel nothing. Then, your eyes start to agree with you. Then one day, someone you love, probably, cries in front of you. And your only thought is "when is dinner?"

"I was never really insane, except on occasions where my heart was touched."

"I will love you as misfortune loves orphans, as fire loves innocence, and as justice loves to sit and watch while everything goes wrong."

Lemony Snicket, The Beatrice Letters

"There's a lot men don't understand. Any girl prefers a miserable man to a success story, because she wants love to be active. Men are busy. For them, love is secondary. A little conversation, a walk in the garden, and that's all. To me, loving you means dreaming up ways to cure your anguish, and following you anywhere. If you're in heaven, I'm in heaven. If you're down, I'm down with you."

The Little Tailor, (Short Film 2010)

"Of all the hardships a person had to face, none was more punishing than the simple act of waiting."

"I was raised in a family where women made it happen, with or without a man. So trust me when I say I’ve got this."

"It's not a shame if a man learns something from a woman's heart which makes him more gentle and human."

Nizar Qabbani (1923 - 1998)

Girls will carry unimaginable primordial rage but still go on about their day as if nothing is wrong and that is very sexy of us I think.

"A girl becomes a woman when her fantasies of violence are no longer focused inwards, but outwards."
