“Those who only remember my mistakes don’t deserve to speak on my worth...” — Garima Soni Quote

“Those who only remember my mistakes don’t deserve to speak on my worth.”

“No matter how much time passes, some memories stay alive not loudly, but quietly, hidden between our smiles and our tears. They visit in silence, in the middle of the night, when the world is asleep but the heart is awake. I know our memories will never truly leave me; they will walk with me through every phase of life, not as pain anymore, but as a reminder of what love once felt like, and of what will never return the same way again. Some connections end, but the feelings they create… they stay, living softly inside us forever.”

“Respect isn’t too much to ask for unless you are asking the wrong person.”

“Yes, I felt like telling you the truth, but I couldn’t gather the courage. Not because I wanted to hide, but because I was scared, scared of losing you, scared of being misunderstood. I know it was my fault, and I will take that. But my intentions were never wrong. Everything I did came from a place of care, not selfishness. Sometimes we make mistakes not out of a bad heart, but out of fear. And that fear costs us the people we never wanted to lose.”

“You are wasting your kindness by being kind to those who don't deserve it.”

“I still care, I still feel everything deeply. I still love the same. But now, I have learned to stay quiet. Because not every emotion needs to be expressed, specially when the one you show it to, doesn't care at all.”

“It seems to me that if you place music (and books, probably, and films, and plays, and anything that makes you feel) at the center of your being, then you can’t afford to sort out your love life, start to think of it as the finished product. You’ve got to pick at it, keep it alive and in turmoil, you’ve got to pick at it and unravel it until it all comes apart and you’re compelled to start all over again. Maybe we all live life at too high a pitch, those of us who absorb emotional things all day, and as a consequence we can never feel merely content: we have to be unhappy, or ecstatically, head-over-heels happy, and those states are difficult to achieve within a stable, solid relationship.”

“We were alone, quiet, but everything we weren’t saying sounded loud, so loud among that sunlight and glass.”

“There is a prayer that we recite in those rooms that I love very much. It simply says, “Dear God—thank you for all that has been given, for all that has been taken away, and for all that remains.”

“Laughter is more than just a pleasurable activity...When people laugh together, they tend to talk and touch more and to make eye contact more frequently.”
