This week’s Thursday Quotable:

I know there are epic tales of romance, where love means you’re supposed to die. Where it’s all about sacrifice. But I don’t want to die. I don’t want Stephen to die. I’m looking for the scenario where we both get to live. Where we can continue this marvel that is love and discovery and trust. I’m not even asking for happily ever after. Just survival in the meantime so life can keep happening as it will.
