Jonas Brun
Vissa säger att kärlek är att hitta sin andra hälft. Finna den som ska komplettera en, göra en hel, göra två till ett. Det tror inte jag. Jag säger att kärlek är att finna sin like, sin tvilling, sin backup. Finna den som gör en dubbel, som gör en till två och gör det omöjligt att någonsin mera vara ensam.
Jonas Brun, Skuggland
