Dreams Quote by Mansoor Nazeer
““. . . early sorrow is frequently made up for by an X-ray vision of life which may be as much a blessing as a curse to its possessor. It presents life in its raw nakedness, stripped completely of its vibrant, protective, comforting robes so that one either recoils from it in horror and runs for the exit, or else turns into an unsmiling ascetic of sorts.””
