Future Quote by Magdalene Visaggio
““I don't want to work on 'something else.' This wasn't just a project to me. This was supposed to be our way out. No more bullshit from your folks or from assholes at school. No more being a charity-case for me. We'd be able to have our own future. We would have had all of space and time at our fingertips, Nat. Now it's all borked.””
