#unrequited

عزيزتي غادة لن أنسى. كلا. فأنا ببساطة أقول لك: لم أعرف أحدا في حياتي مثلك، أبداً أبداً . لم أقترب من أحد كما اقتربت منك أبداً أبداً ولذلك لن أنساك، لا...إنك شيء نادر في حياتي. بدأت معك ويبدو لي أنني سأنتهي معك . "غسان كنفاني ↗

Had Martha Foley returned William [James Sidis]'s passion as Margaret [Engemann] did Norbert [Wiener]'s, perhaps the two prodigies would have had more in common in the long run. ... In the life of a prodigy, perhaps more than in the average life, a marriage or a requited love is the greatest single factor that can heal the old childhood wounds. William and Norbert's response to their childhood and teenage rejections and humiliations was to retreat into the painless world of ideas, where successes and satisfactions abounded. A successful love affair could be the key to reentry into the world of feeling, bridging the gap between the cerebral and the emotional lives. ↗

I thought of all the others who had tried to tie her to the ground and failed. So I resisted showing her the songs and poems I had written, knowing that too much truth can ruin a thing. And if that meant she wasn't entirely mine, what of it? I would be the one she could always return to without fear of recrimination or question. So I did not try to win her and contented myself with playing a beautiful game. But there was always a part of me that hoped for more, and so there was a part of me that was always a fool. ↗

I never hated you. My anger was never with you, but with the little hell my heart had put me in. The anger always passed. I never regretted loving you. If I had gone to my grave never kissing you or touching you, I still would not have thought it a wasted love. ↗

Vanity was stronger than love at sixteen and there was no room in her hot heart now for anything but hate. ↗

The knowledge that she would never be loved in return acted upon her ideas as a tide acts upon cliffs. ↗
