There are certain people who come into your life, and leave a mark…Their place in your heart is tender; a bruise of longing, a pulse of unfinished business.

And only Peeta can give me that.

—Charlotte Gray, Sebastian Faulks
You risk tears if you let yourself be tamed.

But there was a time when each of us stood naked before the world, confronting life as a serious problem with which we were intimately and passionately concerned…
Further back, there were times when we wondered with all our souls, what the world was, what love was, what we were ourselves.
