Quotes
We stood on the edge of darkness, and we tried to build a house there.
We are all in love, and we always have been.
We love because we know we will never be loved enough.
Love is not a thing, love is an action.
We all have our obsessions. The sources of our obsessions are always buried deep in the past.
Some people are meant to be loved and others just naked and writhing in the dark.
We are all watching the same movie, and it's called reality.
This is the way the world ends, not with a whimper, but with a bang.
We are all made from the same stuff, the same DNA, the same dreams.
We are all just ghosts, haunting the places we once loved.
It's not the destination, it's the journey that matters.
Love is a battlefield.
