Bagaimanapun, selama ada minyak di Timur Tengah kita takkan pernah damai.
You know men!! As soon as you give in to them, they ignore you.
Dear friend, life passes with or without God.
Cigarettes are food for the soul.
Don’t worry about it, my child. Tell yourself that you are experiencing a true love story. But of course. Have you ever seen anyone write a poem about the woman he married and who yells at him four times a day?

As for me, I sealed my act of rebellion against my mother’s dictatorship by smoking the cigarette I’d stolen from my uncle two weeks earlier. Kofff! Kofff! Kofff!!! It was awful. But this was not the moment to give in. With this first cigarette, I kissed childhood goodbye. Now I was a grown-up.
