Entire life Quote by Anonymous
“Even if you have known a person for a hundred years, it is impossible to know exactly what they are feel. You can't feel something for them, or know exactly how their mind is processing something. You could invest every bit of your energy over the course of your entire life in an attempt to achieve this understanding, but at the end you will fall short.”
