Defensive Romance Quotes

“And when you find the person you want to build a life with, do not look for fireworks. Look for a foxhole buddy. Look for someone who doesn’t flinch when the artillery starts falling. Look for someone who will stand back-to-back with you in the dark and hold the line. And when you commit to them, you commit in blood. You do not walk away when it gets boring. You do not walk away when it gets hard. You keep the wolves away.”
― Lokesh Tuli, Notes From Exile: The "Manual for the Broken”
