Things They Lost Quotes

“She said that true love was just like this - sweet in some parts, sour in others. She said that deep love was vast and pure, but that it also got hateful in some of its corners where the sunlight did not touch. She said that you could not love without hating. And that you most certainly could not hate a person without loving them first.”
― Okwiri Oduor, Things They Lost

“My love for you is deep, but even then, it's not always so. Sometimes my love for you is lukewarm at best. And sometimes I feel nothing for you. Nothing at all. I search inside myself for that hot, scalding love and it's not there anymore.”
