    Ahmed Mostafa

    Haruki Murakami
    “I've finally experienced what the poet felt. The deep sense of loss after you've met the woman you love, have made love, then said goodbye. Like you're suffocating. The same emotion hasn't changed at all in a thousand years.”
    Haruki Murakami, Hombres sin mujeres

    “I traded my borders to fit all of your pain into my life. I gave up my peace to calm your chaos. I forgot my worth, so you didnt have to change. I forfeited the right to feel my pain, because it was to much for you to carry. I erased the idea of being loved because you said you're incapable. I stopped questioning because answering wasn't worth your effort. I surrendered my fight to be understood because you defeated me before understanding me.

    ANANYOMOUS”
    A. Starr

    Lonestar

    Mike Skinner
    “It’s the end of something I did not want to end-
    Beginning of hard times to come-
    But something that was not meant to be is done-
    And this is the start of what was-”
    Mike Skinner

    James  Patterson

    James Patterson, The Angel Experiment

    “Because, if you could love someone, and keep loving them, without being loved back . . . then that love had to be real. It hurt too much to be anything else.”
    Sarah Cross, Kill Me Softly

    Elle Newmark
    “...unrequited love does not die; it's only beaten down to a secret place where it hides, curled and wounded. For some unfortunates, it turns bitter and mean, and those who come after pay the price for the hurt done by the one who came before.”
    Elle Newmark, The Book of Unholy Mischief

    Robert Goolrick
    “If you don't receive love from the ones who are meant to love you, you will never stop looking for it.”

    Louis C.K.
    “Shut up…let me tell you, LET ME. Every time I look at your face or even remember it, it wrecks me. And the way you are with me and you’re just fun and you shit all over me and you make fun of me and you’re real. I don’t have enough time in any day to think about you enough...I don’t even think about women anymore. I think about you.”
    Louis C.K.

    “Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn."

    Benjamin Franklin never said those words, he was falsely attributed on a respected quotation website and it spread from there.

    The quote comes from the Xunzi.

    Xun Kuang was a Chinese Confucian philosopher that lived from 312-230 BC. His works were collected into a set of 32 books called the Xunzi, by Liu Xiang in about 818 AD. There are woodblock copies of these books that are almost 1100 years old.

    Book 8 is titled Ruxiao ("The Teachings of the Ru"). The quotation in question comes from Chapter 11 of that book. In Chinese the quote is:

    不闻不若闻之, 闻之不若见之, 见之不若知之, 知之不若行之

    It is derived from this paragraph:

    Not having heard something is not as good as having heard it; having heard it is not as good as having seen it; having seen it is not as good as knowing it; knowing it is not as good as putting it into practice. (From the John Knoblock translation, which is viewable in Google Books)

    The first English translation of the Xunzi was done by H.H. Dubs, in 1928, one-hundred and thirty-eight years after Benjamin Franklin died.”
    Xun Kuang
