Top 10 Best Quotes

“There is beauty everywhere; even in the dark, there is light, and that is the rarest kind of all.”

“This life is so complex that we rarely get to be the people we are truly meant to be. Instead, we wear masks and put up walls to keep from dealing with the fear of rejection, the feeling of regret, the very idea that someone may not love us for who we are deep in our core, that they might not understand the things that drive us.”

“Do you think you wear a mask?’ ‘I’m wearing one right now.’ Valentino smiled softly. ‘We both are.’ ‘It’s a sad thought.’ ‘Yes,’ he said. ‘But sometimes I wonder about the alternative. Imagine if we had no secrets, no respite from the truth. What if everything was laid bare the moment we introduced ourselves?”

“It was an uncomfortable feeling, staring into the darkest moments of someone’s soul without them knowing.”

“Do I frighten you?' He tilted his head. 'Yes,' I said weakly. 'Are you proud of yourself?' He looked at me for a long moment before replying. 'No, I'm not,' he said so faintly I had to strain to hear him.”

“Aren’t you glad I have no respect for your authority?”

“What are you going to do, Luca?' I clenched my fists at my sides. 'Pull a gun on me?' 'If that's what it takes.' 'How brave!' I exploded. We were so close to one another now. 'You can't use your words. but you're more than happy to use your gun.' 'I'm not going to be responsible for ruining your innocence!' I tilted my face towards him to show I wasn't afraid, or as innocent as he clearly thought. 'Go ahead,' I whispered. 'Shatter it.' We were nose to nose. 'It almost worked last time, when you told me about my dad.' 'I don't care,' he replied resolutely. 'I'm not punching Bambi in the face.”

“I knew I couldn’t trust my illogical heart, and that meant I had to do everything in my power to stay away from him so I wouldn’t have to.”

“Imagine if we had no secrets, no respite from the truth. What if everything was laid bare the moment we introduced ourselves?”

“I don’t care,” he replied resolutely. “I’m not punching Bambi in the face.”
