    • Quotes

      1: There are people who play soccer In the street and people who walk and sing, Take their pictures in the street. There are people who curse each other, Hit each other, Kill each other in the street. There are people who sleep on the ground in the street and people who sell honor in the street. And in the street... Many mistakes have become acceptable . . . But really it will be a scandal If we one day forgot and kissed each other in the street - Literary prose by Amina Jahin
