Avoided Quote by Fiona Apple

“It pisses me off to think we're conditioned to push away bad feelings and think anything that's uncomfortable is to be avoided. When things are really bad nowadays, I recognize the value in it because it's me filling my quota- it's going to make my joy more intense later.” quote by Fiona Apple — Download Open image
