You say that you love rain, but you open your umbrella when it rains.
You say that you love the sun, but you find a shadow spot when the sun shines.
You say that you love the wind, but you close your windows when wind blows.
This is why I am afraid, you say that you love me too.
-Part of Turkish poem called I am afraid

The tears that you can't cry
Because crying means that there must be
Something alive inside -Kiros

There are lots of quotes out there that I absolutely love, but just now I remembered my most favourite. A line from a fantastic movie, which has touched me more than any other lines ever have done, because it's so true and so beautifully said. I literally cannot listen to it without feeling tears in my eyes and having shivers sent up my spine because of how touching and lovely it is. It's cheesy, and I'm cheesy, but hey xD You asked, so I shall deliver.

"Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport.
General opinion's starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don't see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere.
Often it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there.
Fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends.
When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge.
They were all messages of love.
If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love actually is all around."
-- Hugh Grant, Love Actually

It's even better when you listen to it. ^^
