Nowadays the world is becoming increasingly materialistic, and mankind is reaching toward the very zenith of external progress, driven by an insatiable desire for power and vast possessions. Yet by this vain striving for perfection in a world where everything is relative, they wander even further away from inward peace and happiness of the mind.

I went home today after dinner. It was at 11.35 am. I saw not a single person on the street and only 2 cars passed by. It was really empty! And as usual – I was scared! I was scared of passing the small street to the backyard of my house. The street was even emptier and much darker than the main road. There was only one light at one of my neighbor’s backyard and the rest of the street was really dark. What if there were somebody stopping me and attacking me?!?
Just when I was about to reach my backyard, I looked up and stared the sky. There were so many stars lighting up the sky. They were beautiful! I never realized that you could actually see stars in Eindhoven!
Suddenly, I wasn’t afraid anymore. I smiled. Thank you, Allah, for accompanying me and making me feel so much better.
If your feelings are still what they were last April, tell me so at once. My affections and wishes have not changed, but one word from you will silence me forever.
If, however, your feelings have changed, I will have to tell you: you have bewitched me, body and soul, and I love… I love… I love you. I never wish to be parted from you from this day on. — Mr. Darcy
This is my most favorite scenes and most romantic ones in 2005’s version of Pride & Prejudice. I love the way he says it. Sure, I prefer Colin Firth to be in this role, but in this scene, Mcfadyen’s role as Mr. Darcy makes my heart melt. I’d most probably faint if somebody ever says to me that way. Such a beautiful and romantic scene!
[I promise, this will be the last post talking about Pride & Prejudice!]
