Favorite Quote:

Tell yourself you tasted as many as you could.” <br /> ― Louise Erdrich, The Painted Drum

&quot;Such a cruel boy. Telling me to dream one more time. I thought I was satisfied because my dream had come true... And I&#039;d told myself it was enough... Yet here you are, watering this withered heart again.&quot;
