Hope Quote by Miles Cameron

“He was flooded with power - power like pain. When it rises beyond any possible point of pleasure - like victory. Like defeat, like hopelessness and hope. And he stayed there, for an eternity, balanced between all and nothing. Like love when love is too much to bear.” quote by Miles Cameron
