“Oh God, I wish you were not on this earth, but entirely within me, or rather that I were not on this earth, but entirely within you; I feel there is one too many of us; the separation into two people is unbearable.”
― Franz Kafka

“You will be loved the day when you will be able to show your weakness without the other person using it to assert his strength.”
― Cesare Pavese, Il mestiere di vivere: Diario 1935-1950

“I choose to love you in silence…
For in silence I find no rejection,

I choose to love you in loneliness…
For in loneliness no one owns you but me,

I choose to adore you from a distance…
For distance will shield me from pain,

I choose to kiss you in the wind…
For the wind is gentler than my lips,

I choose to hold you in my dreams…
For in my dreams, you have no end.”
― Rumi

“Barn's burnt down / Now I can see the moon.”
― Mizuta Masahide
