You are all that exists on the earth and under the sky that I do love. - Keiran

As long as there is love and memory, there is no true death," - John Carstairs

It was hard to live normally when you were constantly pretending you didn't see what was going on in front of your face.

When no one you know tells the truth, you learn to see under the surface.

Love is beautiful." - Malcolm Fade
