Holly BlackThose who really love you don't mean to hurt you and if they do, you can't see it in their eyes but it hurts them too.
About This Quote
This quote is really about the distinction between love and hate. You can be in love with someone but hate the things that they do. The person you are in love with can hurt you, but their true feelings for you will be hurt too. If you truly love someone, the hurt they cause is nothing compared to the hurt you feel in your heart.
