1. I have lost you as much— have you lost me equally?
2. You forbade me to speak; why then did you not forbid me to remember?
3. Because I gave you back, I cannot die. If I died, who would atone for this sin?
4. Those who wish to remain must be accepted.
5. Now is the time for leaves to fall! Why not leave the talk of new leaves for later?
6. The one for whom I would gladly die to possess— that very one wishes my death every moment!
7. Sacred texts... as much for reading as for understanding.
8. O writer! Don't pounce the moment you see a reader! O reader! Don't snatch the moment you find a writer!
9. Publishing a book doesn't make one a writer. Buying a book doesn't make one a reader.
10. Once I thought I'd surely die if I didn't have you! Now I understand—people don't die from not having, they die from having.
11. O sky! What use is it to hide the moon? Even on the brightest full moon, these eyes see only darkness!
12. Why do you pull me toward your God like this? Do you need me to reach Him?
13. In clamor lies not God, but noise pollution.
14. When even one's own shadow becomes enemy, how does a person still survive!
15. I do not hate you. Had you not come into this life, who would have taught me to mistrust humanity?
16. What greatness will death bring me if you don't light the lamp at my grave?
17. Why do you keep bringing up their name? Why do you deliberately stop my heartbeat?
18. What if the sun rises! Where the moon itself draws darkness, what power has the sun there!
19. To live together requires not love, but forgiveness.
20. If staying alive weren't necessary to cultivate sorrow, who would bother living!
