I'm twenty-seven,
More quotes by Nâzım Hikmet
At eighteen the heart shoots like a pebble from a slingshot
and the head doesn't sit on the shoulder.
The strangest of our powers
Is the courage to live
Knowing that we will die,
Knowing nothing more true.
It's this way:
being captured is beside the point,
the point is not to surrender.
You may also like
Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,
And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind.
To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.
Not for the body, but for the heart; companion and company are needed.
Love seldom haunts the breast where learning lies,
And Venus sets ere Mercury can rise.
