There is a voice within me

“We want villains. We look for them everywhere. People to pin our misfortunate on. Whose sins and flaws are responsible for all the suffering we see. We want a world where the real monstrosity lies in wicked individuals. Instead of being a fundamental facet of human society, of the human heart.

But villains are oversimplifications.”
― Sam J. Miller, Blackfish City

“Hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men. And, weak men create hard times.”

“Perhaps one did not want to be loved so much as to be understood.”
