Quotes by Elena Ragazzoni (?)

“È amore, perché quando ti lascia porta con sé un pezzetto del tuo cuore. È un amore semplice, puro e potente.”
― Elena Ragazzoni, Il tesoro è nei ricordi: Diario di un amore felino

“I don’t even know if I can say I’m over the grief, because there’s no upper limit to that. Everyone has their own time, it’s not a race to see who gets there first. Don’t listen to anyone who wants to make you believe something different. Vent the pain you feel, listen it and use it to overcome it. At your own pace, in the way you prefer and with whoever you feel comfortable with.”
― Elena Ragazzoni, Treasure Is In Memories: Diary of a Feline Love

“It’s scary to put your guilt down on paper, but it allows you to understand that certain lessons are only learned by living.”
