Louis Nowra Quotes

I've always thought that love was being foolish and stupid. It's about being on the edge and I like being on the edge. It's not divine madness like some people think, there's no such thing as divine madness, madness is just madness. Love is hallucinating without drugs.

I was filled, filled to the brim with utter baffle and utter loneliness. p. 15
