Celia Fremlin Quotes

Love isn't relevant once things are really bad. They say love makes the world go round – but it doesn't, you know. Love is a luxury, and you indulge in it when things are OK. As soon as they are bad – really bad – there just isn't a place for it anymore-no place where there could be room for it.
