Quote preview background for Catherine Ryan Hyde
People die of love. I__ one of the few who__l admit it. That doesn__ mean it isn__ true.Take all the people who died yesterday, or last week, or last year. Subtract all the suicides and the so-called accidents of the brokenhearted. Take away the men who got blown away for being in the wrong bed at the wrong moment, the women in abusive marriages who died of cancer because they couldn__ find any other exit from their lives. All the AIDS deaths except from the needles and the transfusions, the ones they call the innocent victims. Like if you have sex, you__e guilty. Deserved just what you got.Now tell me who all you__e got left.Without love the world would be overpopulated, except that without love it wouldn__ be populated at all. Love giveth and love taketh away and all that crap. You__l probably say all those people died from the lack of love, but I say it__ two sides of the same coin. So it__ the same coin.
