Human Quote by Anonymous
“I once read a story from Plato, who claimed that in the ancient times, all humans had been a combination of male and female. Each person had two heads, four arms, four legs. Supposedly, the combo-humans had been so powerful that they made the gods uneasy, so Zeus split them in half-man and woman. Ever since, human have felt incomplete. They spend their lives searching for the other half. But where does that leave me?”
