It is not you at all I love, but rather the existence you have bestowed on me.
I was reading my destiny inside your eyes without knowing it.
And I close my eyes to gaze into those depths, and am almost engulfed in you.
I don’t need any proofs for you; there is nothing in my mind as clear and certain as you.
-Franz Kafka
“It’s madness to hate all roses because you got scratched with one thorn,
to give up all dreams because one of them didn’t come true,
to give up all attempts because one of them failed.
It’s folly to condemn all your friends because one has betrayed you,
to no longer believe in love just because someone was unfaithful or didn’t love you back,
to throw away all your chances to be happy because something went wrong.
There will always be another opportunity,
another friend,
another love,
a new strength.
For every end,
there is always a new beginning.
And now here is my secret,
a very simple secret:
It is only with the heart
that one can see rightly;
what is essential,
is invisible to the eye.”
― Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince
Time is like a river.
You cannot touch the same water twice,
because the flow that has passed will never pass again.
Enjoy every moment in life.
I still remember the world
From the eyes of a child
Slowly those feelings
Were clouded by what I know now
Where has my heart gone
An uneven trade for the real world
I want to go back to
Believing in everything and knowing nothing at all
I still remember the sun
Always warm on my back
Somehow it seems colder now
Where has my heart gone
Trapped in the eyes of a stranger
I want to go back to
Believing in everything
“Teach us to give and not count the cost.” – St. Ignatius of Loyola
“The man who fears death will never do anything worthy of a man who is alive”
