“To be left alone on the tightrope of youthful unknowing is to experience the excruciating beauty of full freedom and the threat of eternal indecision. Few, if any, survive their teens.

― Maya Angelou, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings

“I hate Earl Grey with a passion. It's like drinking stale perfume...”
