Quotes by Fábio Moon

The ghazals are convincing, and patience is a powerful weapon…but the heart of a timid man will never win his lady.
Only you don’t change, Omar. You’re still a wreck. Look at your clothes, your hair…the hour you arrive at home. Now you have no father, you should look for a job and stop with this idle lunacy. Your father couldn’t bear looking at you like this. He couldn’t bear watching your life thrown away.
