Accommodate Quote by Alexander Theroux

“There is a terrible blindness in the love that wants only to accommodate. It's not only to do with omissions and half-truths. It implants a lack of being in the speaker and robs the self of an identity without which it is impossible for one to grow close to another.” quote by Alexander Theroux — Download Open image
