Because when spring comes, it melts the snow one flake at a time, and maybe I just witnessed the first flake melting. - Amir”
― Khaled Hosseini, The Kite Runner

“When we love, we always strive to become better than we are. When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too.”
