Quotes by Louis Nowra (?)

“I've always thought that love was being foolish and stupid. It's about being on the edge and I like being on the edge. It's not divine madness like some people think, there's no such thing as divine madness, madness is just madness. Love is hallucinating without drugs.”
― Louis Nowra, 颁辞蝉矛
