Another world Quote by Anonymous
“Every time you touch me I stop breathing, that's why I never have much to say. Every time I see you, my heart skips a beat and I need to sit down, that's why I always run away. Every time you call my name I forget everything, which is why I never call yours back. Every time you hug me I break into a sweat, that's why I never hug you in return. Every time you ask me a question I slip away into another world, that's why my answers never make any sense…every time you look me in the eye I want to cry because your not mine, that's why I look down. I am in love with you can't you see”

![“[The Utopia of Rules] should offer a challenge to us all. Should we just accept this bureaucracy as inevitable? Or is there a way to get rid of all those hours spent listening to bad call-centre music? Do policemen, academics, teachers and doctors really need to spend half their time filling in…” quote by Gillian Tett](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/223/gillian-tett-57286_accepting_the-utopia-of-rules-should-offer-a-chall_39418.jpg)
