Time Quote by Andrew Sean Greer

“I knew that not all lives are equal, that the time we live in affects the person we are, more than I had ever thought. Some have a harder chance. Some get no chance at all. With great sadness, I saw so many people born in the wrong time to be happy.” quote by Andrew Sean Greer — Download Open image
