Different places Quote by Mehmet Murat ildan
““As you look at the river, the river looks back at you, and then you travel to oceans in the river's memory! And the river too journeys to completely different places in your memory! Things that look at each other, seem to detach from their physical bodies and embark on a kind of astral journey in each other's memories.””
