“Ian: I don't believe in luck. I do believe we've known each other since forever, though.
Sofi: Really?

So my atoms have known your atoms and they've always known your atoms. My atoms have always loved your atoms.”
― I Origin

In nature, only the positive exists. The negative is man’s invention.”
― Osho, The Secret of Secrets: The Secret of the Golden Flower
