“Here's the thing about people with good hearts:

They give you excuses when you don't explain yourself.
They accept the apologies you don't give.
They see the best in you.
They always lift you up, even if that means putting their own priorities aside.
They will never be too "busy" for you.
They make time, even when you don't.

And you wonder why they're the most sensitive people, the most caring people, why they are willing to give so much of themselves with no expectation in return.
You wonder why their existence is not so essential to your well-being. It's because they don't make you work hard for the attention they give you. They accept the love they think they deserve
- and you accepted the love you think you're entitled to.
Don't take them for granted.
Fear the day when a good heart gives up on you.
Our skies don't become grey out of nowhere, our sunshine does not allow the darkness to take over for no reason.

A heart does turn cold unless it's been treated with coldness for a while”
― Najwa Zebian

“O coração de um homem não está apenas dentro do seu peito, está também dentro das pessoas que ama, dentro da família, dentro dos amigos. O seu sangue não corre apenas dentro do seu corpo.”

“It is one of the supreme ironies of history that the blessed birth of an only son should have proved the mortal blow. Even as the saluting cannons boomed and the flags waved, Fate had prepared a terrible story. Along with the lost battles and sunken ships, the bombs, the revolutionaries and their plots, the strikes and revolts, Imperial Russia was toppled by a tiny defect in the body of a little boy.”
― Robert K. Massie, Nicholas and Alexandra: The Classic Account of the Fall of the Romanov Dynasty

“Quando acordaram de manhã, na mesma cama, ela disse-lhe que queria ter um passado com ele. Não era um futuro, que é uma coisa incerta, mas um passado, que é isso que têm dois velhos depois de passarem uma vida juntos. Quando disse que queria ter um passado com alguém, queria dizer tudo. Não desejava uma incerteza, mas a História, a verdade.”
― Afonso Cruz, Jesus Cristo Bebia Cerveja
