Toni Soprano > Toni's Quotes

“ولكنني متأكد من شئ واحد على الأقل،هو قيمتك عندي..أنا لم أفقد صوابي بك بعد، ولذلك فأنا الذي أعرف كم أنت أذكى وأنبل وأجمل.لقد كنت في بدني طوال الوقت، في شفتي، في عيني وفي رأسي. كنت عذابي وشوقي والشيء الرائع الذي يتذكره الإنسان كي يعيش ويعود..إن لي قدرة لم أعرف مثلها في حياتي على تصورك ورؤيتك.. وحين أرى منظراً أو أسمع كلمة أو أعلق عليها بيني وبين نفسي أسمع جوابك في أذني، كأنك واقفة إلى جواري ... ويدك في يدي”
― غسان كنفاني, رسائل غسان كنفاني إلى غادة السمان

“Kindness and a caring mind are two separate qualities. Kindness is manners. It is superficial custom, an acquired practice. Not so the mind. The mind is deeper, stronger, and, I believe, it is far more inconstant.”
― Haruki Murakami, Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World

“Everything, everything seemed once-upon-a-time.”
― Haruki Murakami, Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World

“You got to know your limits. Once is enough, but you got to learn. A little caution never hurt anyone. A good woodsman has only one scar on him. No more, no less.”
― Haruki Murakami, Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World

“On est tous seuls, ici, à Paris, ou ailleurs. On peut essayer de fuir la solitude, déménagé, faire tout pour rencontrer des gens, cela ne change rien. A la fin de la journée, chacun rentre chez soi. Ceux qui vivent en couple ne se rendent pas compte de leur chance. Ils ont oublié les soirées devant un plateau-repas, l’angoisse du week-end qui arrive, le dimanche à espérer que le téléphone sonne. Nous sommes des millions comme ça dans toutes les capitales du monde. La seule bonne nouvelle c’est qu’il n’y a pas de quoi se sentir si différents des autres.”
― Marc Levy, Mes amis, mes amours

“أريد أن يعود الله صديقا لي كما كان ذات مرة.”
― Elif Shafak, The Forty Rules of Love

“There are a hundred things she has tried to chase away the things she won't remember and that she can't even let herself think about because that's when the birds scream and the worms crawl and somewhere in her mind it's always raining a slow and endless drizzle.

You will hear that she has left the country, that there was a gift she wanted you to have, but it is lost before it reaches you. Late one night the telephone will sign, and a voice that might be hers will say something that you cannot interpret before the connection crackles and is broken.

Several years later, from a taxi, you will see someone in a doorway who looks like her, but she will be gone by the time you persuade the driver to stop. You will never see her again.

Whenever it rains you will think of her. ”
― Neil Gaiman

“Sometimes it feels good to take the long way home.”
― Carol Rifka Brunt, Tell the Wolves I'm Home

“It's easy to feel uncared for when people aren't able to communicate and connect with you in the way you need. And it's so hard not to internalize that silence as a reflection on your own worth. But the truth is that the way people operate is not about you. Most people are so caught up in their own responsibilities, struggles, and anxiety that the thought of asking someone else how they're doing doesn't even cross their mind. They aren't inherently bad or uncaring--they're just busy and self-focused. And that's okay. It's not evidence of some fundamental failing on your part. It doesn't make you unloveable or invisible. It just means that those people aren't very good at looking beyond their own world. But the fact that you are--that despite the darkened you feel, you have the ability to share you love and light with others--is a strength. Your work isn't to change who you are; it's to find people who are able to give you the connection you need. Because despite what you feel, you are not too much. You are not too sensitive or too needy. You are thoughtful and empathetic. You are compassionate and kind. And with or without anyone's acknowledgement or affection, you are enough.”
― Daniell Koepke

“It might have been brief, but so much of a kiss - a first kiss especially - is the moment before your lips touch, and before your eyes close, when you're filled with the sight of each other, and with the compulsion, the pull, and it's like...it's like...finding a book inside another book. A small treasure of a book hidden inside a big common one - like...spells printed on dragonfly wings, discovered tucked inside a cookery book, right between the recipes for cabbages and corn. That's what a kiss is like, he thought, no matter how brief: It's a tiny, magical story, and a miraculous interruption of the mundane.”
― Laini Taylor, Strange the Dreamer
