“I don't know. But I do know that I'm at the stage of my life where I want forever, not right now.

I know that the first person I kissed won't be nearly as important as the last person I kiss.

And I also know better than to dream about things that can't happen.”
― Jodi Picoult, Sing You Home

“One cannot live any longer on refrigerators, on politics, on balance-sheets and cross-word puzzles. One cannot live any longer without poetry, colour and love.”
― Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Wind, Sand and Stars

“I’ve never been the one. Not for anybody.”
He closed the distance between them.
“You’ll get used to it.” He tipped her face up to his, kissed her.
“Why? Why am I the one?”
“Because my life opened up, and it flooded with color when you walked back into it.”
― Nora Roberts, Vision in White

“Mislio sam da sam zaboravio, ali ništa se izgleda ne zaboravlja, sve se vraća iz zaključanih pretinaca, iz mraka tobožnjeg zaborava, i sve je naše što smo mislili da je već ničije, ne treba nam, a stoji pred nama, svjetluca svojim bivšim postojanjem, podsjećajući nas i ranjavajući. I sveteći se zbog izdaje. Kasno je, sjećanja, uzalud se javljate, beskorisne su vaše nemoćne utjehe i podsjećanja na ono što je moglo da bude, jer što nije bilo, nije ni moglo da bude. A uvijek izgleda lijepo ono što se nije ostvarilo. Vi ste varka koja rađa nezadovoljstvo, varka koju ne mogu i ne želim da otjeram, jer me razoružava i tihom tugom brani od patnje.”
― Meša Selimović, Death and the Dervish
