Quotation: "...You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view ... until you climb into his skin and walk around in it."

"As I was the last to leave, I saw her sink down into her chair and bury her head in her arms. Had her conduct been more friendly, I would have falt sorry for her. She was a pretty thing."
