“I was once more in a time which the things around me were changing and that is how I wanted it to be for the rest of my days.”

Source: The Zahir (2005), p. 272.
Context: That is how I would have acted before my accident, but now my personal history had become unimportant. It had stopped being history and was once more becoming a legend, a search, an adventure, a journey into and away from myself. I was once more in a time which the things around me were changing and that is how I wanted it to be for the rest of my days.

Open your heart, show him the anger and pain, so you heal.
Maybe he's looking for his womanly side, let him feel.”
