Psychology Quote by Moira Katson
““Realizations are strange things. They are composed outside of the conscious self, they are the ends of paths we cannot tread in our waking minds, and for this reason, the most shocking realizations may stab across one’s mind, and yet be gone in an instant, fleeting, known-and-unknown.””
