“For never was a story of more woe
Than this of Juliet and her Romeo.”
― William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet

“And questions are the only answers we need
to know that we are as alive as as a time when I held the mind of a child asking:
Why is 2+3 always equal to 5?
Where do people go when they die?
What made the beauty of the moon -
the beauty of the sea?
Did that beauty make you?
Did that beauty make me?
Will it make me
something?
Will I be something?
Am I something?
And the answer comes:
You already are.
You always were.
And you still have time to be.”
― Anis Mojgani, Songs From Under The River

“Slow down, Quentin.
You don't have to touch and go.
You can see it all if your fingers whispers on one word.
Slow down, and hold what you see just a little while longer.
For in a world full of fast faces,
I'm looking for God everywhere -
trying to figure out a little better
this little thing He made called a man.”
― Anis Mojgani, Songs From Under The River

“It strikes me that this may be one of the differences between youth and age: when we are young, we invent different futures for ourselves; when we are old, we invent different pasts for others”
― Julian Barnes, The Sense of an Ending
