9 Summers 10 Autumns | Book Review

Hello! 

First of all, actually this isn't book review as the other review I've done before. I don't have the flatlay photo of this book as usual for the blog thumbnail because I read them at the electronic book, hehe.

So, I just came here to write anything, the whole arranged words over my head.

This is such a pearl words, some quotes, any precious sentences that may build your soul, no, my soul. Our soul.

I'll give you the book information first, here it is.

Here we go!

First, from Page 94

When there is love, you can live even without happiness.

─Dostoevsky's (Notes from Underground)

Yes, you are. I've ever read great sounds from great author, that─someone who loves being alone, they are never blaming others or getting mad of their situations or being sick of their choices or anything else. Just, they are. They loves(do) what they wanna love(do). We can live, even we are alone, only with the situations if you have a pieces of love. Anything lover. As simple as that.  

From page 147

I can imagine if there's nothing in my pocket,

But I can not imagine if there's no knowledge in my mind and religion in my heart.

There are my other suns in my life.

So much agreed and let me give them a 90° bow down to people who put religion on top and knowledge then, up above everything. No words can say, this is all.

The one below maybe nothing, but I fancy its words, from page 148

Dedicated to my father, mother, sisters and my tears that ever made the most beautiful line on my way here.

Because our tears to be here is something else. Someday, it is overflowing till dry and feeling tired and sick, and this is many people called Hurt. But overall, no pain no gain is real.

The last one, from page 207

Ah, children, ah dear friends, do not be afraid of life! How good life is when you do something good & rightful!

─Dostoevsky's (The Brother Karamazov)

Explained from QS. Al-Furqan (25): 2

He to Whom belongs the kingdom of the heavens and earth, Who has taken to Himself no son nor has He taken any partner in His kingdom, Who created everything and then determined its destiny.

Last but not least, to me, this book a half give me warm feeling, a hope, a luxury imagination that may happen in the future, but a half give me dark grey feeling for no reason.

Based on your mind, your deepest heart, your running soul, you may see your future and forget the past, or just memorized the past for your best future. That is all.

With Love,

Emily

P.s.: I said, this isn't book review and you've done with it? Pfft, thankyou for visiting my worst words.
