A lifeboat called Love!

“… She loved the guy. She did it for him. She would’ve done anything for him. Some women are like that. Some loves are like that. Most loves are like that, from what I can see. Your heart starts to feel like an over-crowded lifeboat. You throw your pride out to keep it afloat, and your self-respect and your independence. After a while you start throwing people out- your friends, everyone you used to know. And it’s still not enough. The lifeboat is sinking, and you know it’s going to take you down with it…”


Karla said these words when she talked to Lin.
From the book - Shantaram.
