Stockholm syndrome Quote by Anonymous
““What Mark didn’t understand, and hoped he would never understand, was why you’d let a bunch of dickheads torment you for months in the hope that they’d let you stay in their little club. It had to fall somewhere between kindergarten and Stockholm Syndrome on the What-the-Fuck-Are-You-Thinking scale.””
