❝The only thing worse than being blind is having sight and no vision.❞
❝I learned to be unfaithful from my parents. Not infidelity in the classic sense — but I was always prepared for the unhappy ending, which made me less willing to work toward a happy one. I was unfaithful to the idea of a well-adjusted future.❞
