I loved to read, but I always thought that the dream was too far away. The person who had written the book was a god, it wasn't a person. ↗

To write for PC reasons, because you think you ought to be dealing with this subject, is never going to yield anything that is really going to matter to anyone else. It has to matter to you. ↗
