Human experience Quote by Robert J. Crane
““seen another living soul in years except Mom. When your only human experience in life is through the TV, it warps your sense of reality. The people on TV are so flawless that you don’t see the little blemishes on the skin; the little mole below his eye, the freckles that barely showed on his cheek. We pulled into a parking lot and I marveled at the size of the sign out””
