“告诉我你读了什么,我就会告诉你你的思考方式。”
Mouloud Benzadi

Kate McGahan
“We set our own limits on love. Some of us bind our hearts like Chinese women bind their feet. The binding is painful at first but eventually you get used to it and the pain goes away. The saddest part of all is that by binding yourself to the choices you make, you forget that there was ever another way to live.”
Kate McGahan
