“Love takes off the masks that we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within.”

“To accept one’s past—one’s history—is not the same thing as drowning in it;it is learning how to use it.”

“I know that what I am asking is impossible. But in our time, as in every time, the impossible is the least that one can demand.”

This was such an incredible read. I will be revisiting this over and over again. I learned so much and will continue to for the rest of my life. I can’t express how mandatory a book like this should be to read— especially now.
