I love that this young lady is right on the verge of sophistication. An adorable haircut, well-appointed wardrobe and yet almost toy-like, mousey shoes. She is too close to the age of playing with toys for the shoes to be ironic, so you’re only left with sincerity."

Give me excess of it, that, surfeiting,

The appetite may sicken, and so die"

But remember, there are two ways to dehumanize someone: by dismissing them, and by idolizing them.

Somehow reminded of my junior college literature teacher who changed my perspective on nearly everything. It's been 10 years Mr. Anand.
