“In spite of all the progress we seem to have made, human emotions stay the same. Deep inside our hearts, we don’t change very much. This poem was written two thousand years ago or more. It’s from a time long before the quatrains and other formal styles you’ve learned in school were established. And yet, even today, we can understand the feelings of people from that time. You don’t need education or scholarship for that. These feelings can be understood by anybody, I think.”
― Kyoichi Katayama, Socrates In Love

“If your eyes weren't open, you wouldn't know the difference between dreaming and waking.”
― Richelle Mead, Blood Promise

“I dream of a love that even time will lie down and be still for.”
― Alice Hoffman, Practical Magic

“perhaps we are all immigrants
trading one home for another
first we leave the womb for air
then the suburbs for the filthy city
in search for a better life
some of us just happen to leave entire countries”
― Rupi Kaur, The Sun and Her Flowers
