Certain Quote by Simon Van Booy

“Perhaps we were each allotted only a certain amount of love - enough for only an initial meeting - a serendipitous clumsiness. When it leaves to find others, the difficulty begins because we are faced with our humanness, our past, our very being.” quote by Simon Van Booy — Download Open image
