![“It wasn't the fog I minded, Cathleen. I really love fog. [...] It hides you from the world and the world from you. You feel that everything has changed, and nothing is what it seemed to be. No one can find or touch you any more.” quote by Eugene O'Neill](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/973/eugene-o-neill-4173_fog_it-wasn-t-the-fog-i-minded-cathleen-i-re_581825.jpg)
