1) : In your indulgence, I laugh.
: In your shelter, I live.
2) I asked you, how are you?
With eyes full of tears, you said, I'm fine.
3) : After you leave for the office, I put the cooking on the stove and sit wearing your shirt.
: Between meetings, I look at your picture on my phone wallpaper. And I think, if something happens to me, what will become of this crazy girl?
4) None of them truly love anyone. Two people merely perform the charade of love and want to believe they are supremely happy.
5) Ever since I lost the right to cry over my own sorrows, I spend time crying whenever I see another's pain.
6) : I don't think much about good people, bad people anymore.
: Why?
: One who is good today may turn bad tomorrow.
One who is bad today may turn good tomorrow.
Besides, no good person is good for everyone. No bad person is bad for everyone.
7) You come with your utmost wickedness then.
I'll come with my utmost goodness.
But there's one condition.
Will you be my friend?
8) : We have certain rules here. We never step outside our rules.
: For me, all rules have to change, have changed, will change. No no, not through force or power—my magic lies in love alone.
9) : When long hair gets tangled, you have to free each strand one by one. Then slowly the knots come undone.
: Yes, the same goes for family and society.
10) : I think one day I'll forget everything. Why did the Creator give me this illness? Well, could you tell me your favorite color once more, please?
: Why are you worrying so much when I'm here beside you? I'll tirelessly remind you of everything. And favorite color? Whatever is yours is mine too.
11) All true love in the world has one fundamental principle—we two belong only to each other.
12) : I want love, not passion. I want peace, not war.
: Without war, who ever found love or peace?
13) Let me see your soul, please. I'm going to sleep here every night.
14) Ah, even a fool like me had to die of lovelessness. I curse all of you as I go—none of you will find peace.
15) : Why does it pain you to see this man burn to death before your eyes? We all have to burn.
: What do you mean? How will everyone?
: The Creator Himself said He does injustice to no one.
16) I die constantly in the regret of not being able to save you.
17) Because I have faith in the Creator's power, I go to Him to ask for you.
But the moment I ask only for you, He becomes like a beggar. Doesn't it hurt, tell me?
18) Not passion, but love;
not love, but peace.
19) Either give respite, or let go.
20) I call you; you don't come, fever comes.
