quotes by Marisa de los Santos
""Jimmy Stewart is always and indisputably the best man in the world, unless Cary Grant should happen to show up." "
— Marisa de los Santos (Love Walked In)
— Marisa de los Santos (Love Walked In)
"We talked and talked and talked. Maybe love comes in at the eyes, but not nearly as much as it comes in at the ears, at least in my experience. As we talked, lights flicked on inside my head; by the end of the night I was a planterium."
— Marisa de los Santos (Love Walked In)
— Marisa de los Santos (Love Walked In)
"Even if someone wasn't perfect or even especially good, you couldn't dismiss the love they felt. Love was always love; it had a rightness all its own, even if the person feeling the love was full of wrongness."
— Marisa de los Santos (Love Walked In)
