Chasing-trains Quote by Mackenzie Herbert

“Juliet and Romeo die at the end,' I said. 'Do they really, though?' Monroe asked. 'I didn’t know that that matters, when they sure did live. It’s as simple as this, their secret. When you love somebody, you live, and you live goddamn well.” quote by Mackenzie Herbert
