hat jedes doch sein Glück:
Geh tausendmal - und komm dann

“He gave me heaven and earth, and assumed I'd be satisfied;
Actually I was too embarrassed to argue.

But if the being of the candle is melting, what can the sorrow-sharers do?”
― Mirza Ghalib

“This earth, burnished by hearing the name, is so certain of love,
that the sky bends unceasingly down, to greet its own light.”
― Mirza Asadullah Khan Ghalib, The Lightning Should Have Fallen on Ghalib: Selected Poems
