“so if you love him, why keep him waiting for 13 years?""Because I was afraid. Afraid of not being worthy, afraid of not knowing how to love him, afraid of waking up one day and not loving him anymore.”

“afraid of being discovered,afraid of not getting back the love you gave,afraid of him going away from your land,afraid of telling him you love him,afraid of looking into his eyes,afraid of everything and yet i am in love with him.”

“I wasn't afraid of him anymore, because I could smell his fear. You never had to be afraid of anything that was afraid of you.”

“But there are some kinds of love that you can’t lose, no matter how hard you try. So there’s no need for him to be afraid.”

“And then what would she say? I just told your brother that I love him, and I'm afraid that he hates me? I can't be alone with Turner because I'm afraid he might ravish me? I can't be alone with Turner because I'm afraid I might ravish him.”

“A man is always afraid of a woman that loves him too much”
