Quotes
It's not easy to come back to places that have changed.
Every man has his secret sorrows which the world knows not.
Life is a series of memories that fade with time.
The land holds its secrets in silence.
We are all in search of something lost.
The countryside has its own language, one that whispers to those who listen.

The past can be both a refuge and a prison.
Home is where the heart remembers.
The moon watches over us, silent and knowing.
