    Of course," I answered.

    And the little prince added, "But eyes are blind. You have to look with the heart.”

    چقدر زود
    دیر می‌شود”

    Gabriel García Márquez
    “If I knew that today would be the last time I’d see you, I would hug you tight and pray the Lord be the keeper of your soul. If I knew that this would be the last time you pass through this door, I’d embrace you, kiss you, and call you back for one more. If I knew that this would be the last time I would hear your voice, I’d take hold of each word to be able to hear it over and over again. If I knew this is the last time I see you, I’d tell you I love you, and would not just assume foolishly you know it already.”
