About This Quote

They’re a rotten crowd, I shouted across the lawn. ‘You’re worth the whole damn bunch put together.’ When I was in my teens, I was in love with a girl who was also in love with me. It was a very intense time for us, but when she said that to me, it just broke my heart. She was telling me that I was much more than just an ordinary guy in her life. I was worth the whole damn bunch put together.
