Gabe Is Life Quotes & Sayings

A woman's greatest knack is how well she can hide how much sleep she's been missing.

I've never retreated in my life. I've never backed away from a fight and I've never cowered in fear. Ever. That's not who I am. But I've been in combat long enough to know that when something unbeatable chases you, you do the only thing you can do.
You run. - Gabe — Courtney Cole
