Enjoy the top 6 famous quotes, sayings and quotations by Ibraheem Hamdi.

“You dont hunt something that you can live with, you idiot. You cant have a challenge for a lifetime, itll drain you out. Youll be dead before you even know it. Someone you go all those miles for, someone you change your own skin for, someone you take pride in having managed to impress; is most probably someone you dont live with. People you can live with are ones who complete your sentences, ones who are too comforting, ones who dont really urge you to fall off cliffs for them, rather cheer you on by their mere presence; ones who you can exercise silence with, free and unguarded silence.”
