Derek’s Quotes

“In the summer
I stretch out on the shore
And think of you. Had I told the sea
What I felt for you,
It would have left its shores,
Its shells,
Its fish,
And followed me.”
― Nizar Qabbani

“I’ve never cared for humming verse
But what to do inside a jail?
I’ll hum some verse to pass long days
I’ll hum and wait till freedom comes.”
― Hồ Chí Minh, Poems from the Prison Diary of Ho Chi Minh

“What is the difference between me and the sky?”
The difference, my love,
Is that when you laugh,
I forget about the sky”
