Old is old at any age. Old is when you quit asking questions about this, that, and everything. Old is when you forget how to love-or worse, don't care. Old is when you don't want to dance anymore.

Sometimes he wondered if he did these things just to test himself. To see if the feelings had gone. But they had not. When he saw her, he wanted to be with her; when he was with her, he ached to touch her; when he touched even her hand, he wanted to embrace her. He wanted to feel her against him the way he had in the attic. He wanted to know the taste of her skin and the smell of her hair. He wanted to make her laugh. He wanted to sit and listen to her talk about books until his ears fell off. But all these things he could not want, because they were things he could not have, and wanting what you could not have led to misery and madness.

I believe books are life's best gifts, as they allow us to venture into worlds we never thought existed. Giving us a chance to be someone different, giving us the chance to dawdle in the words - And feel free!
Years from now, when all the junk they got is broken and long forgotten, you'll still have your stars.
The miraculous power of love has often been underestimated just like we underestimate the power of sleep. Most of the herculean tasks performed by men were possible because they had been deeply in love and had slept well the night before.
People don__ remember lessons. They remember stories.
Let__ face it. There are good people and bad people everywhere. Illiteracy, poor education, wars, greed , corruption and similar factors were responsible for the problems in both India and Pakistan. Religious fanatics benefited from these factors and developed formidable socio-political strongholds in both countries.
All kinds of people read poetry: revolutionaries, scholars, sentimentalists etc. But above all else, lovers read poetry. Why? Because we fell in love. And then we fell in love with love.
Phones are only good for ordering pizza and telling someone you're running late
A book is a collected thoughts and lessons in one place, a quote is a lesson which is learnt.
NON MI POSSO ABITUARE. NON MI POSSO ABITUARE AL RAGAZZO CHE DORME DI SOPRA, CHE MI TIENE STRETTA TUTTA LA NOTTE E DICE DI AMARMI, E DICE CHE NON AMER_ MAI NESSUNO COME AMA ME. NON POSSO ABITUARMI A TUTTA QUESTA FELICIT_ CHE MI SCAVA IN PUNTI IRRAGGIUNGIBILI, CHE MI RENDE FRAGILE.
