    I made so many promises when I arrived here.Now I'm not so sure. Now I'm worried.

  • Quote

    Why did we become blind, I don't know, perhaps one day we'll find out, Do you want me to tell you what I think, Yes, do, I don't think we did go blind, I think we are blind, Blind but seeing, Blind people who can see, but do not see.
