Quote by Fran Sandham

“While crocodiles kill hundreds of people in Africa each year, the local people have learnt to live with the danger and often bathe in crocodile areas. This strikes me as reckless - yet if the people here were to visit London or New York they might wonder how people could possibly live with so much dangerous traffic careening around and all the cancerous pollution choking the air.”

“Camille sighed dramatically. "The thing that you are too young to understand is that we all hide things. We hide them from our lovers because we wish to present our best selves, but also because if it is real love, we expect our loved one to simply understand it, without needing to ask. In a true partnership, the kind that lasts through the ages, there is an unspoken communion.”
