Hate Quote by Rotimi Ogunjobi

“The kind of writers I hate the most are those that are completely bereft of distinguishing colors,and so gladly troop out with sundry mediocres in queues of dismal greys- bearing dry gristle for the mental mill of those that that are not permitted to know the difference.” quote by Rotimi Ogunjobi
