Anxiety Quotes

You don't know, because you've never seen it.

It starts out with the question of "how did Gandhi ever withstand the hunger strikes and all / he didn't do it to gain power or money as I recall," and its sweep reaches all the way to this part of the world.

But I also understand the anxiety that comes from wealth and convenience.
