Quotes by Louise Doughty (?)

“Love built on pain-the kind that lasts: whatever you love can be taken away from us at any moment but the loss of what we love belongs to us forever.”
― Louise Doughty, Whatever You Love

“You should remind yourself that what you love is mortal, that what you love is not your own. It is granted to you the present while, and not irrevocably, nor for ever, but like a fig or a bunch of grapes in the appointed season and if you long for it in the winter, you are a fool.”
― Louise Doughty, Whatever You Love

“We discovered that safety and security are commodities you can sell in return for excitement but you can never buy them back.”
