Seal my ears, I'll go on hearing you.

“I am a dreamer. I know so little of real life that I just can't help re-living such moments as these in my dreams, for such moments are something I have very rarely experienced. I am going to dream about you the whole night, the whole week, the whole year. I feel I know you so well that I couldn't have known you better if we'd been friends for twenty years. You won't fail me, will you? Only two minutes, and you've made me happy forever. Yes, happy. Who knows, perhaps you've reconciled me with myself, resolved all my doubts.

When I woke up it seemed to me that some snatch of a tune I had known for a long time, I had heard somewhere before but had forgotten, a melody of great sweetness, was coming back to me now. It seemed to me that it had been trying to emerge from my soul all my life, and only now-

If and when you fall in love, may you be happy with her. I don't need to wish her anything, for she'll be happy with you. May your sky always be clear, may your dear smile always be bright and happy, and may you be for ever blessed for that moment of bliss and happiness which you gave to another lonely and grateful heart. Isn't such a moment sufficient for the whole of one's life?”

― Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet

“I am learning to see. I don't know why it is, but everything enters me more deeply and doesn't stop where it once used to. I have an interior that I never knew of...

And I can't possibly write to strangers.”
― Rainer Maria Rilke, The Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge

“Ova žena je ćudljiva, vječiti april, vesela je pa tmurna, pričljiva pa malorjeka, svakog jutra ustaje i na lijevu i na desnu nogu pa je ne određuje dan već trenutak, slučajno je ovdje, kivna kad se sjeti da je mogla biti na drugom mjestu, razdragana kad pomisli da će biti. Obična je samo kad zaboravi.”
― Meša Selimović, Magla i mjesečina

“Ne znam odakle je našla u meni sve te divne osobine o kojima nisam ni sanjao, niti sam želio da ih imam. Ali zašto bih kvario njenu naivnu sliku? Zašto joj ne bih izgledao tako kako me ona vidi? Biću njen ponos i zaštita, ovakav nikakav, podržaću njenu vjeru u mene, jer joj je potrebna. Biću tobože snažni hrast nad njenom krhkom stabljikom. Izgleda da zaista sanjamo život.”

“Vidiš, još mislim dobro o tebi, i želim da se ponekad probudiš usred noći, i da dugo sjediš prekrštenih nogu na postelji, mučeći se kajanjem i stidom, zbog mene. Ali, neka ti je bogom prosto, nisi ti birao svoju sitnu dušu, dali su ti je, ne pitajući. Došao si na red kad drugih, boljih, više nije bilo.”
― Meša Selimović, The Fortress

“Everyone says love hurts, but that is not true. Loneliness hurts. Rejection hurts. Losing someone hurts. Envy hurts. Everyone gets these things confused with love, but in reality love is the only thing in this world that covers up all pain and makes someone feel wonderful again. Love is the only thing in this world that does not hurt.”
― Meša Selimović
