Look at us, running around. Always rushed, always late. I guess that’s why they call it the human race. What we crave most in this world is connection. For some people it happens at first sight. It’s when you know you know. It’s fate working its magic. And, that’s great for them. They get to live in a pop song. Ride the express train. But that’s not the way it really works. For the rest of us, it’s a bit less romantic. It’s complicated, it’s messy. It’s about horrible timing, and fumbled opportunities. And, not being able to say what you need to say when you need to say it. At least, that’s the way it was for me.

Wally Mars, The Switch

Walang maitutugon ang wika sa tanong ng pag-ibig buhat sa isang sulyap na kumikislap o palihim. Sa halip, sumasagot ang ngiti, ang halik, o ang bugtonghininga.

Jose Rizal, Noli Me Tangere

Building a dream from memory is the easiest way to lose your grasp on what’s real and what is a dream.

Dom Cobb, Inception
