“May I see you again?" he asked. There was an endearing nervousness in his voice.

I smiled. "Sure."

"Tomorrow?" he asked.

"Patience, grasshopper," I counseled. "You don't want to seem overeager.

"Right, that's why I said tomorrow," he said. "I want to see you again tonight. But I'm willing to wait all night and much of tomorrow." I rolled my eyes. "I'm serious," he said.

"You don't even know me," I said. I grabbed the book from the center console. "How about I call you when I finish this?"

"But you don't even have my phone number," he said.

"I strongly suspect you wrote it in this book."

He broke out into that goofy smile. "And you say we don't know each other.”

“الحب هو الرغبة في أن تتمسك بسرعة بشخص آخر وأن تكونا معا في نفس المكان;
فهو الرغبة في ألا تصبح مهتما بالعالم وأنت تحتضن الآخر.
إنه رغبة ملحة في العثور على مرفأ آمن لروحك الإنسانية.”
― Orhan Pamuk, The New Life

“ما أجهل الناس الذين يتوهمون أن المحبة الصادقة بكل أشكالها تتولد بالمعاشرة الطويلة والمرافقة المستمرة …إن المحبة الحقيقية هي ابنة التفاهم الروحي ..وإن لم يتم هذا التفاهم بلحظة واحدة ، لا يتم بعام ولا باجيأل كاملة.”
