And even if Amina didn't yet know what it was to love like that, to burn until your spine has no choice but to try to wind itself around an empty shirt, she understood for sure that the people who said it was better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all were a bunch of dicks.

About This Quote

And even if Amina didn't yet know what it was to love like that, to burn until your spine has no choice but to try to wind itself around an empty shirt, she understood for sure that the people who said it was better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all were a bunch of dicks. The same goes for those people who say it's better never to have loved at all. Everyone should be allowed their own opinion, but if you're going to say something, make sure it's based on some kind of fact. Talk is cheap, and the way it gets cheap is when you start talking out of your ass.
