Sometimes survival is the worst alternative there is

It isn't just a village. The houses aren't just places to live. Everything belongs to everybody. Everyone belongs to everyone else. Even a single person can make a difference.

The right circumstances sometimes happen of their own accord, slyly, without fanfare, without warning. Layman's alchemy. . . . The magic of everyday things.

It's a feeling which tells me that any woman can be beautiful in the eyes of a man who loves her.

I'm incapable of hiding my feelings when I'm around someone I don't like.

Some things can be both real and imaginary at the same time, . . . some lies can be true, . . . broken faith may be restored.

Happiness. Simple as a glass of chocolate or tortuous as the heart. Bitter. Sweet. Alive.
