Darling girl, blinded by foolish thoughts of love. How to tell her that the hearts of men were not so easily won. If won, rarely kept Picture Quote #1

It’s a funny thing, character, the way it brands people as they age, rising from within to leave its scar Picture Quote #1

In each man’s heart there lies a hole. A dark abyss of need, the filling of which takes precedence over all else Picture Quote #1

There’s something about hospital walls; though only made of bricks and plaster, when you’re inside them the noise, the reality of the teeming city beyond, disappears; it’s just outside the door, but it might as well be a magical land far, far away Picture Quote #1

I’m good with words, but not the spoken kind; I’ve often thought what a marvelous thing it would be if I could only conduct relationships on paper Picture Quote #1

Photographs force us to see people before their future weighed them down Picture Quote #1
