Rule Quote by Summer McStravick
““There’s nothing we like so much as a clear-cut, black-and-white rule that makes us feel in control and gives us a sense of comfort. We also like it better when someone tells us what to do, tells us what’s right, and tells us what will happen—if we’d only adhere to certain dogma.””
