Waft Perfume Quotes & Sayings

My own golden city of peaches and cheese! — Rachel Hartman

We must be willing to accept the bitter truth that, in the end, we may have to become a burden to those who love us. But it is necessary that we face this also. The full acceptance of our abjection and uselessness is the virtue that can make us and others rich in the grace of God.
