Quote by Barbara Sontheimer

“Looking over the Ethan's bowed head, amidst the tangled forest of Wilderness littered with the bodies of men dead and dying, Victor saw the serene image of his mother.  She smiled at her son, her unbound black hair blowing wildly in the breeze.  She reached a hand out towards him, and this time, he went with her.”

“Nazmahal 2, Sonnet of Lost Love You know who the biggest enemy of the lover is? It's the behaviorist. The behaviorist warns, but the lover wants to believe - the behaviorist restrains, but the lover wants to fall. So far, every time the behaviorist has had the final word - I told you so - yet the lover never learns the lesson. Still at the faintest possibility of love, lover jumps in, lock, stock and barrel. Love misplaced is not love wasted, Love misplaced is heart sweetened. Trust misplaced is not trust lost, Trust misplaced is humanity tested. Every good deed is a test of heart, Every act of love is existence tried. It's okay to be disappointed in deception, but never let it turn your ideals into a lie.”

“So I won't tell her. Then when this is over, I'll cry my broken heart out into a case of beer and I'll make sure that one day I record that song. The one I said I reminded me of her. But that's not entirely true because I wrote it for her. I'll record it and one day when she's done college or even ten years from now, she'll hear it on the radio. Maybe then she'll think of me and what we were for awhile.”

“Vagabond Poet (Sonnet) Bi' gün değil, bugün, bugün yaşamalı, bugün parlamalı, bugün uyanmalı, bugün yürümeli. Wear your wounds like crown, not tomorrow, but today. In front of your thunderous resolve, intimidating clouds all fade away. Where lips don't speak, eyes do - where eyes don't speak, backbone do. And once backbone has spoken, all the militaries cannot render it untrue. Poetry, my nationality, words, my brethren. To the world I'm monsoon, for inside I'm barren.”

“The trick is forgetting for one moment and then forgetting for another moment and then look, the moments run together like a string of beads, and there is heartbreak in the forgetting of heartbreak, in the forgetting of pain, which returns bright and pulsing regardless of the seconds it has been put aside. Do not leave me here, it tells you. Pain becomes an animal, walking at your side. Pain becomes a home you can carry with you.”
