Aimer quelqu'un, c'est le lire. C'est savoir lire toutes les phrases qui sont dans le cœur de l'autre, et en lisant le délivrer. C'est déplier son cœur comme un parchemin et le lire à haute voix, comme si chacun était à lui-même un livre écrit dans une langue étrangère.

Off the top of my head, I can think of
“Scooby dooby don’t”
and
“The Lion the witch & the audacity of this b*tch”
Can y’all think of any others with this type of energy?
