Instagram post 2240243853121926105_5488194165 The truth takes time, I was told. It takes time to find it hidden among the infinity of lies. It takes time to tell it, to muster the courage necessary to release it unto an unwilling world. And it takes times to accept it, especially when no one else will. The truth will always take more time than a lie. _______________________________________ #quotestoliveby #translated #memoirs #english #compositions #penned #articles #folklore #texts #inspiration #threnody #translations #written #melodic #musical #poetlaureate #arthurrimbaud #rainermariarilke #authorlife #biography #books #arabicpoetry #chant #works #thechristroystories

“I’ve never had any desire to become a writer, no lifelong passion to write that finds its origin in a hated childhood or in a love for words. I stumbled upon it the same way a scientist stumbles upon a cure.”
