Love Quote by To The Edge Cindy Gerard
““You did your job. You protected me. You saved me. Well, I don't need saving anymore, OK? Especially not from you. I love you." She glared at him. "Without illusions. I love you because you are fallible and because your poor misguided testosterone-corrupted brain has you doing cartwheels trying not to be. I love you because of all you are and because of all you're not. And because, no matter what, you are all the man I'll ever need.””

![“Tell me, Mr. DeMarco. What’s love to you?” […] He glared at his teacher. “I think it’s ridiculous you’re even trying to define it like it’s something material you can just go find if you want it. People use the word too loosely as it is. They say they love this and they love that, when they don’t…” quote by J.M.
