With Love from Harlem Quotes

“know you want to help. But she’s not your sin, and you’re not her savior. One day, you’ll look up and realize you’ve poured yourself out for everyone else—and there’s nothing left for you.” She paused. “You say you want to be the biggest entertainer in the country. You’re almost there, baby girl. And hitching your wagon to Billie will derail you both.”
