“And if our eyes cannot meet,
Our souls can always meet in our dreams. And because I’m not allowed to hug you with my arms, I always hug you with my eyes. ” — Spirits, by Hadeia Adel. (via hello-hadeia-nour) “Why do we smile? Why do we laugh? Why do we feel alone? Why are we sad and confused? Why do we read poetry? Why do we cry when we see a painting? Why is there a riot in the heart when we love? Why do we feel shame? What is that thing in the pit of your stomach called desire?”
— Benjamin Alire, Sáenz, Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe (via quoted-books) This is a Zimbabwean proverb from the Shona tribe, meaning that a person who harms another or borrows from someone will often forget, but the person who is harmed or borrowed from will always remember.
