Doctor Love Quotes

“I love you more than I thought I could love anyone, and as complicated as love is, it can also be incredibly simple. Because love isn’t perfect.

“Maybe I should put myself in your hands when it comes to dating.”
“You absolutely should.” Also, just put yourself in my hands, because I think we’d both really enjoy it.
