Deep Thoughts

“Tell him yes. Even if you are dying of fear, even if you are sorry later, because whatever you do, you will be sorry all the rest of your life if you say no.”

till you will see me again and live in me.
Till then my windows ache.”

“He couldn’t even tell whether he was angry or contrite, whether it was forgiveness he wanted or the power to forgive.”
