| Quotes |
Flavia:
I don't know why I always fell for girls. I can't even help my students. I always give up when I'm half way through doing something. If I go on like this, I'll hurt a lot of people. Yip: Why do you blame yourself for everything? You've tried your best. That's good enough. No one will blame you. See more » |
