Lorraine HeathI would rather be a cripple and have your love for all of a single moment than to live as I am without ever having it.
About This Quote
The only way to have the love of someone else is to have it for all times, not just one moment. To have someone love you for the rest of your life, you must let them know you are worth loving. You can’t be with someone forever if you are not willing to sacrifice anything for them. Not even your own happiness.
