Amber Quote by Mark Lawrence

“Memory is all we are. Moments and feelings, captured in amber, strung on filaments of reason. Take a man’s memories and you take all of him. Chip away a memory at a time and you destroy him as surely as if you hammered nail after nail through his skull.” quote by Mark Lawrence — Download Open image

No half measures. Some things can’t be cut in half. You can’t half-love someone. You can’t half-betray, or half-lie.
