#anti

Karena sesungguhnya cinta tidak pernah meminta untuk menanti. Ia mengambil kesempatan atau mempersilakan ... Ia adalah keberanian atau pengorbanan. Ya Allah, jadikan cinta ini cinta yang Engkau ridhai,jika dia memang bukan milik kita ... Melalui waktu, hapuslah ‘cinta dalam diam’ ini dengan memberi rasa yang lebih indah dan orang yang tepat biarkan ‘cinta dalam diam’ ini menjadi memori tersendiri dan sudut hati ini menjadi rahasia antara kita dengan Sang Pemilik hati. ↗

The first book I wrote was The Bride Price which was a romantic book, but my husband burnt the book when he saw it. I was the typical African woman, I'd done this privately, I wanted him to look at it, approve it and he said he wouldn't read it. ↗

Of all the species of literary composition, perhaps biography is the most delightful. The attention concentrated on one individual gives a unity to the materials of which it is composed, which is wanting in general history. ↗

Sweetheart, darling, dearest, it was funny to think that these endearments, which used to sound exceedingly sentimental in movies and books, now held great importance, simple but true verbal affirmations of how they felt for each other. They were words only the heart could hear and understand, words that could impart entire pentameter sonnets in their few, short syllables. ↗
