1. Water. Above it, a boat. Above that, a deck. Above that, me. Above that, failure or excuses for suicide.
2. Today, to tell the truth, inside my chest there are only stones.
3. When you have time, do check on me, because I love you. I make time to check on you, because I love you.
4. When someone who loves behaves terribly toward the one they love, there is nothing more frightening.
5. Forcing someone to love what you love— what else is that but the behavior of a beggar!
6. He wrote such beautiful poems, yet no one agreed to publish them!
In his heartbreak he looks toward the wall, where he sees his beloved Rabindranath's picture. Calling to the gecko beside it, he says, Remember this: after Rabindranath, I am the greatest poet!
7. In blindness of the eyes, people cannot see, in blindness of faith, people do not want to see.

After getting you: Are you everything?
