Roger Zelazny Quote
Later, much later, I was to see this for the rationalization it was; my real reason for denying her the answers she desired was that I was not ready to trust her, or anyone, so close to me as I really am.Had I known her longer, better -- another year, say -- I might have answered her. I don't know. We never used the word love, though it must have run through her mind on occasion, as it did through mine. It was, I suppose, that I didn't love her enough to trust her, and then it was too late. So, I can't tell you, were my words.
