Christine FeehanShe didn't know how to love, to give herself to someone, to out herself in someone else's keeping and take him into hers. She didn't trust anyone with her heart - or the darker places of her soul.
About This Quote
A person who doesn't know how to love is someone that isn't capable of giving themselves to someone. They cannot trust or let go of themselves and out themselves in someone else's keeping. She didn't trust anyone with her heart, the darker places of her soul, which means she didn't trust anyone with her emotions and thoughts. She was a closed off person and didn't let people get close to her. It was as if she was a wall around herself, not allowing anyone to get close enough to see inside her.
