“— não me importo — eu disse pra ele — que seja breve o nosso encontro.
porque no tempo da minha memória
somos pra sempre. não existe morrer dentro, é como uma canção.
as canções não morrem nunca porque elas moram dentro das pessoas que gostam delas.”
― Aline Bei, O Peso do Pássaro Morto

“Time passes. That's the rule. No matter what happens, no matter how much it might feel like everything in your life has been frozen around one particular moment, time marches on.”
― Cynthia Hand, The Last Time We Say Goodbye

“entendendo que o tempo
sempre leva
as nossas coisas preferidas no mundo
e nos esquece aqui
olhando pra vida
sem elas”
― Aline Bei, O Peso do Pássaro Morto

“Habibi. Hayati. Roohi.
My love, my life, my soul, the words meant, but their meanings went deeper than that.
Habibi was for friends and love that was real enough.
Hayati was when love became an all-encompassing thing. Deeper and deeper, until one became the others life.
Roohi was when a soul twined with its match and loved with the force of a thousand suns. When it slipped beneath the heart and tangled in the very fibres of an existence.”
― Hafsah Faizal, We Free the Stars
