Good thing Quote by Lauren Oliver
““But I think that's a good thing, really, because if you did know it would be almost impossible to let go. When you do know, it's like being asked to step off a cliff: all you want to do is get down on your hands and knees and kiss the solid ground, smell it, hold on to it.:””
