“Men don't change. They just learn to disguise the lack of change.”

“Love is a mystery. We embrace it where we can. Mostly we do not choose whom we love. It just happens. A voice speaks to us, in ways the ears cannot hear. We recognize a beauty the eye does not see. We experience a change in our hearts that no voice can describe.”

“Nothing of real worth can ever be bought. Love, friendship, honour, valour, respect. All these things have to be earned.”
