Sinclair, your love is attracted to me. Once it begins to attract me, i will come. I will not make a gift of myself, I must be won.

Veo que piensas más de lo que puedes expresar. Claro que si es así te darás cuenta también de que nunca has vivido completamente lo que piensas; y eso no es bueno. Sólo el pensamiento vivido tiene valor.
