My whole life, I had thought that my story was, again and again: Once upon a time, there was a boy, and he had to risk everything to keep what he loved. But really, the story was: Once upon a time, there was a boy, and his fear ate him alive. Maggie Stiefvater
About This Quote

Once upon a time, there was a boy. He loved something, maybe he loved someone. It didn't matter what for I was about to give everything to him even though I knew that I could lose everything. But really, the story was: Once upon a time, there was a boy.

He loved something, maybe he loved someone. He was doing all that he could to keep it safe but his fear ate him alive.
