Quote by Mark Twain

“Life itself is only a vision, a dream." "Nothing exists; all is a dream. God--man--the world--the sun, the moon, the wilderness of stars--a dream, all a dream; they have no existence. Nothing exists save empty space--and you!”

“She leans over the desk to write and even though I feel bad for doing it, I watch her body as she does. Her shirt lifts just a little as she’s bending over and whether she’s aware of it or not, her lower back is exposed. I’ve spent the last eight years ignoring this girl, but one small view of her back and it’s putting my body into overdrive. I’ve never wanted to kiss someone there so much in my life.”

“Страста постои за да биде задоволена; во спротивно би била смирение, а не страст. Настрана што ниедна страст не може да се задоволи целосно. Копнееш по нешто, на пример по вода. Несреќен си и неисполнет додека копнееш, така барем мислиш и мислиш дека среќата ќе дојде кога ќе ја задоволиш својата жед. И еве, конечно, доаѓа првата голтка. Среќен си. Но само со првата голтка. Веќе со втората ти си по малку среќен, и со секоја наредна стануваш се понесреќен, оти класденецот е тука, ама копнежт бледнее и го снемува. Каков привид: беше несреќен додека растеше копнежот а сега си несреќен затоа што то ј се смалува! Ако е така, среќата е само миг: мигот кога го добиваш она по што си копнеел, првата капка. Во неа се`, вечноста.”

“And what did I do, only slip my hand inside his own and say that maybe he should hold my hand instead for a while, and I can see the look on his face even to this day. The shock and the desire. Oh, I loved the power I had over him! The power I could sense in myself! You won't understand this but it's something that every girl realizes at some point in her life, usually when she's around fifteen or sixteen. Maybe it's even younger now. That she has more power than every man in the room combined, because men are weak and governed by their desires and their desperate need for women but women are strong. I've always believed that if women could only collectively harness the power that they have then they'd rule the world. But they don't. I don't know why. And for all their weakness and stupidity, men are smart enough to know that being in charge counts for a lot. They have that over us at least.”
