“To hurt is as human as to breathe.”
― The Tales of Beedle the Bard
― The Tales of Beedle the Bard
“يتهاوى الصُحب من حولي كما تتهاوى الاوراق من غُصن الشجر .. فيمرُ شتاء وحدةٍ على نفسي ... ثم يسطعُ ربيع أملٍ على دربي .. فتنبت الحياة من أجلي صحب خيرٌ من ذي قبل ... فأمسك قلبي وأنُاجي .. رجاءاً .. لا مزيدَ من الفقدِ ! فيردُ قائلٌ .. يا فتى أوليس بتبديل الورق تنمو أغصان الشجر !”

“You had your heart broken much?”
He paused. “Of course. Everyone does. Part of life.”
“Tell me her name. I’ll kick her ass. I don’t want anyone hurting you.”
He rested his face against my hair, his tone even and gentle when he spoke. “You’re wondrous and powerful and gifted, but even you can’t save me from hurting. No one can do that for anyone. I can make things perfect in the fictions I create, but the real world isn’t so kind. That’s just how it is. And anyway, for every bad thing in life, there are more good things to tip the balance.”
“Like what?”
“Like little blonde nieces. And royalty checks. And you.”
― Succubus on Top
