Love Quote by Josephine Winslow Johnson

“There must be some reason, I thought, why we should go on year after year, with this lump of debt, scrailing earth down to stone, giving so much and with no return. There must be some reason why I was made quiet and homely and slow, and then given this stone of love to mumble.” quote by Josephine Winslow Johnson
