Delicate Quote by Deb Caletti

“Love was such a delicate thing, requiring tissue-paper touch and the safest place, yet there it was out in the real world, where it got battered by storms of ill will and bad circumstances and demons of your own or of other people. Love didn’t stand a chance.” quote by Deb Caletti
