“He's lived a fiction. And, of course, he thinks that if you love someone enough, they will love you. And that if you steer things enough, things will, under your control, come right.

But their life will never be what they want it to be until they stop controlling, and that is their journey.” IfsThinkingWantEnoughCoursesFictionJourneyLove YouLove SomeoneSteersControllersIf You Love Someone Author:Julian Fellowes
