In times of intense emotions, we turn to familiar works of prose and poetry to look for similar themes and expressions so that we don’t feel alone and unable to express our self. These lines then become something that encapsulates our state at that very moment.
We have formed this connection with a lot of verses but there is that one that will always be more memorable. Here are some of the lines that some people in my life chose to represent themselves.
