J.E.’s Quotes

“Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish its source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishings.”

“It’s not easy to explain how or why I’m so in-vested in this woman. Since I first set eyes upon her, I knew that she could do better. She could be better. Sophie has so much potential, she just needs the right person to draw it out of her – and I’m certain that person is me.”
