Quote by Mahatma Gandhi

“I have naturally formed the habit of restraining my thoughts. A thoughtless word hardly ever escaped my tongue or pen.

It has helped me in my discernment of truth.”

“Did A tell you your eyes remind me of blown glass? I can see your soul through those eyes, Amy. They get darker when you’re trying to be sexy and shine when you smile. And when you think you’re in trouble you blink double the amount that you usually do. And when your sad the corners of your eyes turn down. I miss your eyes. And I don’t want the sad ones to be my last memory of you.”
