Alix Quote by Anonymous

“You cant turn love on and off like a light switch, no matter how hard you try. All you can do is wall it off, one brick at a time, until youve created an impenetrable fortress around your emotions. And once that fortress is built, you camouflage it so well that even you cant see it anymore.” quote by Anonymous
