“I breathed for you, so long that I forgot to breathe myself.
~ Lucia Čokinová ~”

“I do my job like I breathe — so if I can’t breathe I’m in trouble.”

“I sometimes wake in the early morning & listen to the soft breathing of my child & I think to myself, this is one thing I will never regret & I carry that quiet with me all day long.”

“I’ve lapped so long. As you said. It fair takes. If I lose my breath for a minute or two don’t speak, remember! Once it happened, so it may again.”

“Breathing is hard. When you cry so much, it makes you realize that breathing is hard.”

“As long as I breathe I hope. As long as I breathe I shall fight for the future, that radiant future, in which man, strong and beautiful, will become master of the drifting stream of his history and will direct it towards the boundless horizons of beauty, joy and happiness!”

“Why do you paint?
For exactly the same reason I breathe.
That’s not an answer.
There isn’t any answer.
How long hasn’t there been any answer?
As long as I can remember.
And how long have you written?
As long as I can remember.
I mean poetry.
So do I.”

“Laugh as much as you breathe and love as long as you live.”

“Laugh as much as you breathe and love as long as you live.”
