Guilt Quote by Amber Hope
“And to speak of this thing that they call 'LOVE.' Am I the only one who will ever understand it? Am I the only one who will ever understand that it's just a simple trick that our mind plays on us? It's just a figment of our imaginations, that's all. It's the thing that causes you to have guilt. And pain. All because we're so foolish that we don't realize this. Maybe it's more than this. Maybe it's less. I suppose we'll never know.”
