Good Feelings Quote by Sarah Chergui
““I am not distressed about meeting hypocrites; on the contrary, I am mentally content to know that it was hard for them to profess good feelings. I cannot also conceal my satisfaction when I saw them trying to convince me of what they are not. Now I understand that I should not refuse them lest they would be disappointed. In brief, I am likely to pretend attention.””
