“Falling in love is very real, but I used to shake my head when people talked about soul mates, poor deluded individuals grasping at some supernatural ideal not intended for mortals but sounded pretty in a poetry book. Then, we met, and everything changed, the cynic has become the converted, the sceptic, an ardent zealot.”

“اگر باید زخمی داشته باشم
که نوازشم کنی
بگو تا تمام دلم را
شرحه شرحه کنم
زخمها زیبایند
و زیباتر آنکه
تیغ را هم تو فرود آورده باشی
تیغت سـِحر است و
نوازشت معجزه
و لبخندت
تنظیفی از فوارهی نور
و تیمار داریات
کرشمهای میان زخم و مرهم
عشق و زخم
از یک تبارند
اگر خویشاوندیم یا نه
من سراپا همه زخمم
تو سراپا
همه انگشت نوازش باش”
― مجموعه اشعار حسین منزوی

“When you miss someone....it’s weird…your body doesn’t function normally..as it should. Because I miss you, and my heart…it’s not steady…my soul it sings numb. Fingers are cold…like you…your soul.”

“Sam:"Okay, what words would you use then?" I leaned back in the seat, thinking, as Sam looked at me doubtfully. He was right to look doubtful. My head didn't work with words very well- at least not in this abstract, descriptive sort of way.
Grace:"Sensitive" I tried.
Sam translated: "Squishy"
Grace:"Creative"
Sam:"Dangerously emo"
Grace:"Thoughtful"
Sam:"Feng shui."
I laughed so hard I snorted.
Grace:"How did you get feng shui out of thoughtful?"
Sam:"You know, because in feng shui, you arrange funiture and plants and stuff in thoughtful ways.”
