"Oh, the terrible struggle that I have had against sleep so often of late; the pain of the sleeplessness, or the pain of the fear of sleep, and with such unknown horror as it has for me!

— Bram Stoker (Dracula)

"As you know so well, the passage of time never really heals the tragic memory of such a great loss, but we carry on, because we have to, because our loved one would want us to, and because there is still light to guide us in the world from the love they gave us."

"خوش به حال آسمون كه هر وقت دلش بگیره بی بهونه می باره
به كسی توجه نمی كنه
از كسی خجالت نمی كشه
می باره و می باره و اینقدر می باره تا آبی شه .. آفتابی شه ...!!!ا
کاش ... کاش می شد مثل آسمون بود
كاش می شد وقتی دلت گرفت اونقدر بباری تا بالاخره آفتابی شی
بعدش هم انگار نه انگار كه بارشی بوده"
— کاش میشد

"...required for good fiction: character, conflict, change through time. And if you're really blessed, you get resolution. But life doesn't usually work out that way."
