“Love has an extreme capacity to offer everything we need but not without extreme pain. Anyone who tastes the sweet fruit -joy of love, deserves to taste the bitter fruit -pain of separation. Nobody should taste the bitter before the sweet. It means not being able to feel the pain of separation before enjoying the joy of love.”
― D. Aswini, Saffron - The Blood Swan

“Comforting lies are better than a hurting truth, is my policy, but it's impossible to lie in front of you”
― D. Aswini

“Good friends, good books, and a sleepy conscience: this is the ideal life.”
― Mark Twain

“I couldn't say the real reason for my call when he asked me, 'Anything else?' It was hard for me to end the call. There was nothing I could say to him directly, but there were tons of things I could say to him in my mind. I wanted to tell him how much I would like to talk with him. "Bye," was all I could say aloud.”
