Fall in love Quote by Ann Patchett
““You don't find strangers declaring themselves to you awkward?' But then she wouldn't, would she? People must fall in love with her hourly. She must keep a staff of translators to interpret the proposals of love and marriage. 'It's easier to love a woman when you can't understand a word she's saying,' Roxane said.””
