Love Quotes Quote by Rita Mae Brown, Riding Shotgun — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

Or she was pulling someone's hair. And a part of you was drawn to her, and a part of you resisted--wanting to ride off on your bicycle, kick a stone, remain uncomplicated. In the same breath you felt the strength of a man, and a self-pity that made you feel small and hurt. Part of you thought: Please don't look at me. If you don't, I can still turn away. And part of you thought: Look at me.”

“It was the moment I realized what music can do to people, how it can make you hurt and feel so good all at once.”

“Love is always open arms. If you close your arms about love you will find that you are left holding only yourself.”
