“I can only say I have waited for you through western nights at bus stops in lanes by canals on airfields and the gallows of tears And then you came through the forlorn cities of Europe I recognized you I set out the table for you with wine with bread with mercy but imperturbably you turned your back…”— Ingrid Jonker, amazon.com
“Loving someone who cannot love you the same way in return is not weakness. It’s one of the most courageous things you’ll ever do. You are putting your armour at their feet and you are saying ‘I will not fight you in this. I have loved you and that means that I have already won.”— Azra T., 5000letters.tumblr.com
