“Her only fault is that she lacks sense enough to avoid falling in love with such a fool as I!”
“a man cannot embrace a woman’s faults until he loves her. A woman embraces the faults and then falls in love.”
“but she realized that she wanted him to know her. She wanted him to understand her, if only because she had strange sense that he was the kind of man she could fall in love with, even if she didn't want to.”
“Tell me then, does love make one a fool or do only fools fall in love?”
“Her expression falls slightly as she senses that my walls are up and she's not nearly strong enough to climb over. Not even today when she is leukaemia's version of Superwoman.”
“How can I fault her for trying to bury a truth that when exposed to air and sunlight could only hurt the ones she loves?”
