“Experience is merely the name men gave to their mistakes.”
― Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray

― Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray

“There are too many of us, he thought. There are billions of us and that's too many. Nobody knows anyone. Strangers come and violate you. Strangers come and cut your heart out. Strangers come and take your blood. Good God, who were those men? I never saw them before in my life!”
― Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451
