“My dear,
Find what you love and let it kill you.
Let it drain you of your all. Let it cling onto your back and weigh you down into eventual nothingness.
Let it kill you and let it devour your remains.
For all things will kill you, both slowly and fastly, but it’s much better to be killed by a lover.
~ Falsely yours”

“I was always hungry for love. Just once, I wanted to know what it was like to get my fill of it -- to be fed so much love I couldn't take any more. Just once. ”

“Every one of us is losing something precious to us. Lost opportunities, lost possibilities, feelings we can never get back again. That’s part of what it means to be alive.”

“And once the storm is over, you won’t remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won’t even be sure, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm, you won’t be the same person who walked in. That’s what this storm’s all about.”

“Perse te dua?!
Se te desha vete,
Dhe t'u nqasa vete,
Dhe te putha vete-
Prandaj.
Dhe te humba large,
Dhe te ndoqa large,
Dhe te gjeta large-
Prandaj.
Se te desha prape,
Dhe t'u nqasa prape,
Dhe te putha prape-
Prandaj.
Dhe te humba vashe,
Dhe te ndoqa vashe,
Dhe s'te gjeta vashe-
Prandaj.
Se te gjeta grua,
Dhe te desha grua,
Dhe te putha grua-
Prandaj.
Dhe s'me flet perhera,
Dhe s'me nqas perhera,
Dhe me plas perhera-
Prandaj.
O, prandaj te dua,
Prandaj vashe-e grua,
Fshehtesi per mua-
Prandaj.”
