You can’t turn love on and off like a light switch, no matter how hard you try. All you can do is wall it off, one brick at a time, until you’ve created an impenetrable fortress around your emotions. And once that fortress is built, you camouflage it so well that even you can’t see it anymore. Katherine Allred
About This Quote

Love is different from other emotions such as anger and hate. Love does not switch on and off like a light switch; love comes and goes like the sun. But you cannot turn it off, because love is a part of who we are.
