Famous Alex Michaelides Quotes

It's boring, if seen from the perspective of high drama. Love is deep and calm - and constant. I imagine you do give Kathy love - in the true sense of the word. Whether or not she is capable of giving it back to you is another question.”

I saw things clearly now, I understood His greater purpose, God hadn't abandoned me during my childhood, when I had felt so alone and so scared - He had been keeping kathy hidden up His sleeve, waiting to produce her, like a deft magician. I felt such humility and gratitude every second we spent together, I was aware how lucky, how incredibly fortunate I was to have such love, how rare it was.”

Kathy did that for me—she was my invitation to life, one I grasped with both hands.”
