Quote by Nicole Castro

“I could only nod as emotions rolled in like a destructive storm. This was it. It was over. My incredible time with this beautiful talented man was up. I had to clench my teeth and swallow hard to mask the loss that threatened to overcome my calm exterior. I was holding on for dear life then he said two words with pure tranquility.”

“In fondo cos’è la morte? – le dissi piano all’orecchio – solo un passo avanti per raggiungere l’eternità!” “O per perderla…” continuò lei. Sorrisi, stringendola a me ancora più forte e affondando il capo nei suoi capelli. [...] La strinsi un’ultima volta a me, prima di allontanarmi definitivamente dal suo viso e sussurrare: “Se la morte è davvero un passo avanti per l’eternità, ti prego… Baciami all’infinito e io morirò per te ogni giorno.”

“For that is the meaning of a farewell in the full, important sense of the word: that the two people, because they part, come to an understanding of how they have seen and experienced each other. What succeeded between them and what failed. That takes fearlessness: you have to be able to endure the pain of dissonance. It is also about acknowledging what was impossible. Parting is also something you do with yourself: to stand by yourself under the look of the other. The cowardice of a farewell resides in the transfiguration: in the attempt to bathe what was in a golden light and deny the dark. What you forfeit in that is nothing less than the acknowledgement of your self in those features produced by darkness.”
