Love. He recoiled from the very idea. He knew all about love: love was following his best friend around school like a lost puppy, putting up with all manner of shit just to be near him. Love was sobbing himself to sleep night after endless night because the guy who’d taken his virginity hadn’t called him back. Love was a thousand shattered dreams and a flood of memories that made him cringe. Love could fuck off. Kate Aaron
About This Quote

Despite all the pain that love can bring to a person, Nelson Mandela knew that it was still the best thing to ever happen in his life. “Love. He recoiled from the very idea. He knew all about love: love was following his best friend around school like a lost puppy, putting up with all manner of shit just to be near him.

Love was sobbing himself to sleep night after endless night because the guy who’d taken his virginity hadn’t called him back. Love was a thousand shattered dreams and a flood of memories that made him cringe. Love could fuck off.” For Nelson Mandela, love was something so important but he did not let it control him and he did not allow it to get in the way of what he wanted to achieve in his life.
