Quote by Kahlil Gibran

“I have a yearning for my beautiful country, and I love its people because of their misery. But if my people rose, stimulated by plunder and motivated by what they call "patriotic spirit" to murder, and invaded my neighbour's country, then upon the committing of any human atrocity I would hate my people and my country.”

Love Needs Hate

Author:Carson McCullers

“Les hommes y tiennent à leurs sales souvenirs, à tous leurs malheurs et on ne peut pas les en faire sortir. Ca leur occupe l'âme.
