“Най-голямата болка е от това, че градовете умират точно в деня, когато ги напускаме - за малко или завинаги, те се залостват с всички катанци, задръстват се с прах и пепел, превръщат се в мараня, в мираж
и ние - блудните синове и дъщери - хукваме, втурваме се презглава назад, надпреварваме се със сърцето си
натам където отдавна вече няма никой
твърде дълго растяхме
твърде дълго се учехме да отделяме зърното от плявата
най - голямата болка е да не можеш да прегърнеш онези, които не са успели да те дочакат”
― Нарине Абгарян, С неба упали три яблока

“The error all women commit. Why can’t you women love us, faults
and all? Why do you place us on monstrous pedestals? We have all feet of
clay, women as well as men; but when we men love women, we love them
knowing their weaknesses, their follies, their imperfections, love them all
the more, it may be, for that reason. It is not the perfect, but the imperfect,
who have need of love. It is when we are wounded by our own hands,
or by the hands of others, that love should come to cure us – else what use
is love at all? All sins, except a sin against itself, Love should forgive. All
lives, save loveless lives, true Love should pardon. A man’s love is like that.
It is wider, larger, more human than a woman’s. Women think that they
are making ideals of men. What they are making of us are false idols
merely. You made your false idol of me, and I had not the courage to
come down, show you my wounds, tell you my weaknesses. I was afraid
that I might lose your love, as I have lost it now.”
― Oscar Wilde, An Ideal Husband

“All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

“Любовта представлява една великолепна катастрофа: знаеш, че пред теб има стена и въпреки всичко даваш газ. Тичаш право към своята гибел с усмивка на уста. С любопитство очакваш кога точно ще гръмне всичко. Любовта е единственото предварително програмирано разочарование, единственото нещастие, което всеки може да предвиди и всеки път желае отново.”
― Frédéric Beigbeder, L'amour dure trois ans

И дори този ден да е след милиони, милиарди години, и дори да се събудим някъде далеч от малката звезда, която помним от предишния си живот, ние няма да знаем това, защото в съня времето е послушно.

И дори да се събудим без телата, с които сме свикнали, аз ще намеря начин да те прегърна.”
― Богдан Русев, Ела при мен

― L.J. Shen, Vicious

“Then tell me who you love.” He walked away from me as I frowned at the question, the shadows wild and seething beneath my skin.
I closed my eyes as I tried to answer, searching the deep chasm of nothing within me until I caught a glimmer of something which I’d lost.
