“I just want a humble, murderously simple thing: that a person be glad when I walk into the room.”
― Marina Tsvetaeva

“For me, love is something else entirely. It’s beyond all logic and impossible to describe or define. It’s one thing to like someone. To be consumed, body and soul, by desire is quite another. That’s what love is to me — desire that’s all-consuming. Desire that’s impossible to resist!”
― Sabahattin Ali, Madonna in a Fur Coat

“All my life, I’d been silent. Whenever I’d been tempted to speak, I’d quickly changed my mind. “Why bother?” I’d say to myself. “What difference will it make if you speak?” In the past, I’d been just as quick to let emotion get in the way — to decide, on slim evidence, that a certain person could never understand me. But this time, my first impressions stood fast: she would understand me perfectly.”

“A soul came forward only when it found its twin, when it felt no need to rely on mere words to explain itself…It was only then that we truly began to live — live with our soul. At that moment, all doubts and shame could be set aside. All rules could be broken, as two souls joined in embrace. All my inhibitions had disappeared. All I wanted was to pour out my heart to her, the good with the bad, the weaknesses with the strengths, holding nothing back, baring my soul. I had so much to say to her…enough to fill a lifetime.”
