"I was forced to acknowledge too late, much too late, that I too had loved, that I was capable of suffering and that I was human after all. I felt as if this pain would never be appeased... I think that that is what they call being consumed with remorse."
Amazing concept and execution, amazing perspective writing, absolutely gut-wrenching and emotion-provoking
