O frio da casa é o rasto do vazio que nela habita,

da minha alma adormecida pela ausência da tua.

"Há momentos em que sinto tanto a tua falta... que o que mais quero é tirar-te dos sonhos e abraçar-te..."

Não se ama pelas qualidades. Nem por isto ou por aquilo. Ama-se simplesmente, e sobretudo ama-se apesar deste e aquele defeito.

Work by Phillip Toledano

Phonesex

To the caller, when I first answer, I am the inanimate Barbie.

They do not know what I look like, who I am, how I am feeling, or how I feel. They can only imagine. It is my job to indulge their fantasies, to convince them that I am not a doll. I am their dream turned real.

If they ask if I am blonde, I become a blonde. If they ask how wet I am, I tell them that my panties are drenched. I respond to every sound the caller makes with an affirmation, I encourage them, I breathe life into the fantasy, I carve the doll out of flesh.

The world of quoting...

"Experience is a brutal teacher, but you learn. My God, do you learn."

C.S. Lewis

"There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle."

Albert Einstein

"If the world were merely seductive, that would be easy. If it were merely challenging, that would be no problem. But I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day."

E.B. White

"Don't part with your illusions. When they are gone you may still exist, but you have ceased to live."

Mark Twain

"The saddest aspect of life right now is that science gathers knowledge faster than society gathers wisdom."

Isaac Asimov

"It is not a lack of love, but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages."

Friedrich Nietzsche
