“Words can be twisted into any shape. Promises can be made to lull the heart and seduce the soul. In the final analysis, words mean nothing.

The wisest man is the silent one. Examine his actions. Judge him by them.”
― Karen Marie Moning

“There is always some madness in love. But there is also always some reason in madness.”
