He’d ridden into my life on a speckled gray horse and had saved my heart from hardness. He’d taught me that when you love someone, you say it--and that when it comes to matters of the heart, games are for pimply sixteen-year-olds. Up until then that’s all I’d been: a child masquerading as a disillusioned adult, looking at love much as I’d looked at a round of Marco Polo in the pool at the country club: when they swam after me, I’d swim away. And there are accusations of peeking and cheating, and you always wind up sunburned and pruney and pooped. And no one ever wins. It was Marlboro Man who’d helped me out of the pool, wrapped a towel around my blistering shoulders, and carried me to a world where love has nothing to do with competition or sport or strategy. He told me he loved me when he felt like it, when he thought of it. He never saw any reason not to.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Ree Drummond" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/ree-drummond/i-d-been-reborn-since-marlboro-man-had-entered-my-life-his-wild/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/b27/ree-drummond-818_life_i-d-been-reborn-since-marlboro-man-had-e_1689988.png", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/b27/ree-drummond-818_life_i-d-been-reborn-since-marlboro-man-had-e_1689988.png", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/b27/ree-drummond-818_life_i-d-been-reborn-since-marlboro-man-had-e_1689988.png", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“I’d been reborn since Marlboro Man had entered my life; his wild abandon and unabashed passion had freed me…” — Ree Drummond", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } } ] }, { "@type": "CollectionPage", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/saved-heart/ree-drummond/#webpage", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/saved-heart/ree-drummond/", "name": "Saved Heart Quotes by Ree Drummond", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#website" }, "mainEntity": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/saved-heart/ree-drummond/#itemlist" }, "primaryImageOfPage": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/b27/ree-drummond-818_life_i-d-been-reborn-since-marlboro-man-had-e_1689988.png" }, "description": "1 Saved Heart quotes by Ree Drummond.
