Quote

One of the most touching quotes i’ve ever come across!

If you press me to say why I loved him, I can say no more than it was because he was he, and I was I.
- Montaigne

Interestingly, i came across this quote in a PhD dissertation of all places!

*hoping someone might say it for me someday too*

    cahlo…this means u r preparing ur doing lit. review for your thesis. Wasee this quote can be tru for u and adnan siddique. i mean the passion with which u write; he refutes, rebutts, rebukes, while u argue, humor and reason with him…..there seems to be a lot going on bw u too. there is this bond, this love-hate relationship…this pact….God i need a break…

    good one! I liked that quote, simple and eloquent.

    BTW, it was great to meet you Mansoor. Hope next time it will be for longer so we can have a decent chin wag.

    Next time we should all meet on the weekend so people dont have to run back to work after lunch.

    Can i break it to you gently? Nah bugger it i’ll be frank.

    Love doesn’t exist. The sort of romantic love you’re talking about doesn’t exist. And true love cannot exist until you’ve been through hard times and remain together… sometimes it doesn’t exist even then.

    Don’t wait to hear it, rather tell it. You know the old saying, if you want someone to give you flowers, plant a tree.

    Also, this is a good quote to use when you’re being grilled about why you feel the way you do about someone and you can’t find any answers.

    ud: inshallah :D

    maryam: embittered soul are we? Love may or may not exist, i am not one to judge that, but one thing i do know… the feelings.. they are real. They were real, and they will be real, because they are mine and i am real. I may not get love in return, and i may slowly destruct emotionally.. but atleast i can say i lived life, and i felt it.
