Famous Quotes & Sayings

William Blake

Oh! why was I born with a different face? why was I not born like the rest of my race? when I look,each one starts! when I speak, I offend; then Im silent & passive & lose every friend.

Im either too low or too highly prized; when elate I m envy'd, when meek Im despis'd
