Earth Quote by Carlos Ruiz Zafon
“Who are the lunatics? The ones who see horror in the heart of their fellow humans and search for peace at any price? Or the ones who pretend they don't see what's going on around them? The world belongs either to lunatics or hypocrites. There are no other races on this earth. You must choose which one to belong to.”

Lunatics see horror in humanity and seek peace, while hypocrites ignore reality; the world is divided between them.
