Quotes by Zahary Karabashliev

“Започваш да разбираш, че си истински влюбен, когато искаш да се събуждаш до някого по-силно, отколкото да заспивате заедно.”

“Черешата не се купува, глупак с глупак! Черешата е любов! Или я отглеждаш, или я крадеш! Ако си закъсал много, ще похарчиш някой долар, за да си припомниш вкуса й - а НЕ ДА СЕ ТЪПЧЕШ КАТО СВИНЯ!”

“-а в живота опитваш да замениш една праволинейност с друга. предлагаш да го разглеждаме отзад напред, вместо отпред назад, от дясно на ляво, вместо, както сме свикнали, обръщаш местата на после и преди, философстваш, търсиш посока в едно необятно... 18% сиво. а всъщност единственото сигурно е това сега, което е и началото, и краят, и преди, и после, и алфата, и омегата, 18% сиво и 100% сега...друго просто няма!”
