We’ll meet again in Lvov, my love and I…” Tatiana hums, eating her ice cream, in our Leningrad, in jasmine June, near Fontanka, the Neva, the Summer Garden, where we are forever young.

I love you breathlessly, my amazing man.

All good things come to those who wait.

There are some battles, no matter how much you don’t want to fight them, that you just have to fight. That are worth giving your life for.

You are my hand grenade, my artillery fire. You have replaced my heart with yourself.

Not bombs nor my broken heart can take away from me walking barefoot with you in jasmine June through the Field of Mars.

We walk alone through this world, but if we're lucky, we have a moment of belonging to something, to someone, that sustains us through a lifetime of loneliness.

Memory - that fiend, that cruel enemy of comfort.

Tania, there is so much still ahead of you. Be patient with life

Ask yourself these three questions, Tatiana Metanova, and you will know who you are. Ask: What do believe in? What do you hope for? What do you love?

The power you have over someone who loves you is greater than any other power you'll ever have.

It takes darkness to be aware of the light.

Sometimes your mind can imprison your body and can put your body under some constraints. There is only one way for your body to be free: To free your mind!

While silently brooding, I am drawn to the start of a sweet melody that travels to my ear from afar. I smile, reminded that my heart can dance when my feet can't.

The motionless person was once full of life in one moment in time. What a misery?

God has given you a gift, why not open it?!

For every victory there is a price.

The world was no doubt made, that it might be a theatre of the divine glory.

It's liberating to live at home during the week, but on the weekend it's like, Jesus Christ, how much History Channel can one human being watch?

The eighties was an era when many companies were asset rich and cash poor.

I want to be a soul singer.
