Failure Quote by Jocelyn Davies

“We would make mistakes, we would argue, we would make up. We would lose the people we love and find new ones, and hold our memories close. We would fight for each other, again and again. We would keep living. We were in love. And we were only human, after all.” quote by Jocelyn Davies
