Ashly Lorenzana Quotes: 14

• You know all that sympathy that you feel for an abused child who suffers without a good mom or dad to love and care for them? Well, they don't stay children forever.

• When you want to share something with another person more than anything, it is one of the most difficult things to realize that you can never have it. Accepting this realization is even more difficult. Loving someone does mean saying goodbye to them in some cases, though we will fight that until the oftentimes bitter end before doing the right thing.

• If somebody never gets enough of you, they will always want more

• You never know what lurks just beneath the surface of my fragile sanity.
