“For every beauty there is an eye somewhere to see it. For every truth there is an ear somewhere to hear it. For every love there is a heart somewhere to receive it.” - Ivan Panin (Russian Mathematician 1855 - 1942)

I didn't really say it, I read it in a book somewhere. It was my Hebron Highlights leavers quote :)
I get it. Feeling like a passive observer. I'm beginning to feel uneasy and angry about it.
