Thorns

"A life with love will have some thorns, but a life without love will have no roses. To the world, you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world."

"I can alter my life by altering my attitude. He who would have nothing to do with thorns must never attempt to gather flowers."

"I wrapped myself in thorns and then hated everyone who didn't want to touch me."

"I love you,’ he whispered, and kissed my brow. ‘Thorns and all."
