“Here’s what I think. I think that true love allows for each person to find happiness and contentment individually as well as together. You need to go do this, Suzanne—and for that matter, so do I. How can we build a life together until we’re sure of what we each want and need?”
― Anna Schmidt, The Peacemakers Trilogy: A 3-Book Romance Series of Quakers Who Persevere Through World War II
