Quote by Melanie Cusick-Jones

“I will not let anything hurt you,” Balik promised. “I will not let anything come between us,” I replied with my own whispered oath. “You and me,” Balik smiled a little. “Always,” I agreed as I reached up to draw his face to mine and pressed my lips onto his.”

“But love, sooner or later, forces us out of time. It does not accept that limit. Of all that we feel and do, all the virtues and all the sins, love alone crowds us at last over the edge of the world. For love is always more than a little strange here. It is not explainable or even justifiable. It is itself the justifier. We do not make it. If it did not happen to us, we could not imagine it. It includes the world and time as a pregnant woman includes her child whose wrongs she will suffer and forgive. It is in the world but is not altogether of it. It is of eternity. It takes us there when it most holds us here.”
