“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

“Je veux que tu sois heureuse. Tu n'as jamais été plus belle que ce soir où tu m'as dit que tu étais heureuse. Je t'aime de beaucoup de façons, mais surtout comme cela - avec le visage du bonheur et cet éclat de la vie qui me bouleverse toujours. Je ne suis pas fait pour aimer dans le rêve, mais du moins je sais reconnaître la vie où elle se trouve.”
― CAMUS ALBERT
