“That weekend the city blushed with a great heat wave but on Monday it rained, cooling the ache in the street’s burn.” ― Daniel Amory, Minor Snobs

 “I am nothing special, of this, I am sure. I am a common man with common thoughts, and I've led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten, but I've loved another with all my heart and soul, and to me, this has always been enough.”

― Nicholas Sparks, The Notebook
