I'm quite influenced by some quotes from this book these days . . .
" . . . And the air was full of Thoughts and Things to Say. But at times like these, only the Small Things are ever said. Big Things lurk unsaid inside. . . "
This is the sentence that keep looping in my mind. I got (may be I thought I got) opportunities to say "Big Things", but just said only "Small Things". Opportunity just flew away . . . I just keep moving (may be pretending to keep moving) with screaming words that I dare not say . . . so sad ~~~
Well, help yourself 'cos it's truly a great story. Just like it was written in the book;
"The Great Stories are the ones you have heard and want to hear again. The ones you can enter anywhere and inhabit comfortably. They don't deceive you with thrills and trick endings. They don't surprise you with the unforeseen. They are as familiar as the house you live in. Or the smell of your lover's skin. You know how they end, yet you listen as though you don't. In the way that although you know one day you will die, you live as though you won't. In the Great Stories you know who lives, who dies, who finds love, who doesn't. And yet you want to know again."
