“Habibi. Hayati. Roohi.
My love, my life, my soul, the words meant, but their meanings went deeper than that.
Habibi was for friends and love that was real enough.
Hayati was when love became an all-encompassing thing. Deeper and deeper, until one became the others life.
Roohi was when a soul twined with its match and loved with the force of a thousand suns. When it slipped beneath the heart and tangled in the very fibres of an existence.”
― Hafsah Faizal, We Free the Stars

“Beyond life, beyond death, my love for thee is eternal.”
― Kerri Maniscalco, Capturing the Devil

― Stephanie Garber, The Ballad of Never After

“Those who deserve respect are given it freely. If one must demand such a thing, he'll never truly command it.”
