Like the earth asleep beneath thick snow, the heart too learns to wait in stillness. Not from weakness, but from wisdom: there are wounds that only heal in rest.”

“O da bütün bunları çok iyi biliyordu; benim için erişilmez oluşundan, ona dair tüm hayallerimin imkansızlığı düşüncesinden de muazzam bir keyif aldığına kalıbımı basarım; aksi takdirde onun gibi temkinli ve akıllı bir kadın bana karşı bu kadar samimi, açık davranır mıydı?
