“How you're still always trapped.How your head is the cave, your eyes the cave mouth. How you live inside your head and only see what you want. How you only watch the shadows and make up your own meaning.”

“You can only act on what you do know. What your heart and your head and your gut tell you is right.”
“Anything that only lives in your head cannot live in the hearts of others.”
