Quote by Shahid Hussain Raja

“No matter how hard you attempt, forgetting your soulmate is impossible. Love resembles a gilded cage from which escape is futile; you relentlessly collide with its barriers until your wings are stripped away, leaving you like a cage of ribs—imprisoned within a golden cage.”

Unamuno might be describing the artist as well as the Christian as he writes, "Those who believe they believe in God, but without passion in the heart, without anguish of mind, without uncertainty, without doubt, and even at times without despair, believe only in the idea of God, and not in God himself.”
