Boris Akunin. Pelagia and the black monk (№ 439155)

How many such fleeting meetings happen in life. ... What could come true, but never come true, will touch you with a rustling wing on the cheek, dope you and fly further. And every day of life, a myriad of missed opportunities, failed turns of fate. There is nothing to sigh because of this, one must appreciate the path that you are walking.
