![“Love is when you have the opportunity of turning someone's feelings or trust or vulnerability against them, but you don't. You make promises you don't want to keep, but you keep them because they're right; you help people who can't help you back. [...] Love is when you find something so great…” quote by Dan Wells](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/0ad/dan-wells-2142_back-love_love-is-when-you-have-the-opportunity-of_2632224.jpg)
