Frank Mullins Quotes

As her confidence grew, the panic she'd experienced when something wasn't perfect, abated.] It's like being cold in winter and you can't imagine that you'll ever be hot, or hot in summer, when you don't believe you'll ever be cold... Now I say, 'It's OK. You know this feeling.'
