“I don't want to own anything until I find a place where me and things go together.”

“Why does anyone stay in a relationship that deep down they know isn’t right? You don’t know why until it happens to you. It’s easy to fool yourself. To stuff things under the surface where they can’t hurt you. To persuade yourself it’s all just normal. Make excuses. There’s a fine line between craziness and love.”

“از ظلمت رمیده خبر می دهد سحر
شب رفت و با سپیده خبر می دهد سحر
در چاه بیم، امید به ماه ندیده داشت
و اینک ز مهر دیده خبر می دهد سحر
از اختر شبان، رمه شب رمید و رفت
وز رفته و رمیده خبر می دهد سحر
زنگار خورد جوشن شب را به نوش خند
از تیغ آب دیده خبر می دهد سحر
باز از حریق بیشه خاکسترین فلق
آتش به جان خریده خبر می دهد سحر
از غمز و ناز انجم وز رمز و راز شب
بس دیده و شنیده خبر می دهد سحر
بس شد شهید پرده شب ها، شهاب ها
وان پرده ها دریده خبر می دهد سحر
آه آن پریده رنگ که بود و چه شد کز او
رنگش ز رخ پریده خبر می دهد سحر
چاووش خوان قافله روشنان امید
از ظلمت رمیده خبر می دهد سحر”

“She was still hugging the cat. "Poor slob," she said, tickling his head, "poor slob without a name. It's a little inconvenient, his not having a name. But I haven't any right to give him one: he'll have to wait until he belongs to somebody. We just sort of took up by the river one day, we don't belong to each other: he's an independent, and so am I. I don't want to own anything until I know I've found the place where me and things belong together. I'm not quite sure where that is just yet. But I know what it's like." She smiled, and let the cat drop to the floor. "It's like Tiffany's," she said.
[...]
It calms me down right away, the quietness and the proud look of it; nothing very bad could happen to you there, not with those kind men in their nice suits, and that lovely smell of silver and alligator wallets. If I could find a real-life place that made me feel like Tiffany's, then I'd buy some furniture and give the cat a name.”
