If you are stone, be magnetic if a plant, be sensitive but if you are human be love.
Victor Hugo
Image
At the moment when her eyes closed, when all feeling vanished in her, she thought that she felt a touch of fire imprinted on her lips, a kiss more burning than the red-hot iron of the executioner.
