“Ova žena je ćudljiva, vječiti april, vesela je pa tmurna, pričljiva pa malorjeka, svakog jutra ustaje i na lijevu i na desnu nogu pa je ne određuje dan već trenutak, slučajno je ovdje, kivna kad se sjeti da je mogla biti na drugom mjestu, razdragana kad pomisli da će biti. Obična je samo kad zaboravi.”

“For me, when I picture the person I want to end up with, I don't think about what their career is, or what they look like. I picture the feeling I get when I'm with them.”

“There's a particular kind of suffering to be experienced when you love something greater than yourself. [...] It is in every considered step I am taking in the opposite direction of you.”

“Patience
Patience and Love agreed to meet at a set time and place; beneath the twenty-third tree in the olive orchard. Patience arrived promptly and waited. She checked her watch every so often but still, there was no sign of Love.
Was it the twenty-third tree or the fifty-sixth? She wondered and decided to check, just in case. As she made her way over to the fifty-sixth tree, Love arrived at twenty-three, where Patience was noticeably absent.
Love waited and waited before deciding he must have the wrong tree and perhaps it was another where they were supposed to meet.
Meanwhile, Patience had arrived at the fifty-sixth tree, where Love was still nowhere to be seen.
Both begin to drift aimlessly around the olive orchard, almost meeting but never do.
Finally, Patience, who was feeling lost and resigned, found herself beneath the same tree where she began. She stood there for barely a minute when there was a tap on her shoulder.
It was Love.

“Where are you?” She asked. “I have been searching all my life.” “Stop looking for me,” Love replied, “and I will find you.”
