Something was dead in each of us, and what was dead was hope.

About This Quote

When it came to love, we all had been lost and found, been raised from the dead and then destroyed by a cruel world whose only interest was in our destruction. Then a strange thing happened. We found hope again, and this time it lasted longer.
