Love Said Quote by Garth Nix

“I don't want to be that kind of sorcerer, said Anya swiftly. Besides, you wouldn't...you wouldn't love me then, would you? We will always love you, said Tanitha. But you would not know that if you become like the Duke. He has grown too cold form his magic, and has forgotten what it means to love.” quote by Garth Nix
