Bob Quote by Fred D'Aguiar

“I try to be even-handed and fair-minded about my view of history. I don't romanticize one side and demonize the other, though I do think that if you're suffering a lot, especially in the Bob Marley sense, suffering becomes a kind of university out of which you'll learn some hard lessons.” quote by Fred D'Aguiar — Download Open image
