Greeting card Quote by John Augustus Newcomb
““Please don’t mistake Love for sentimentality or weakness. Real Love is a fierce thing. Love allows things that must end to die, and it looks at suffering without blinking. Love is an extension toward unity, not a prison or something that can be expressed with a greeting card.””
