About This Quote

The word 'innocence' means a mind that is incapable of being hurt. If you are the kind of person who doesn't notice when someone is trying to hurt you or when you do yourself no one thinks it's wrong. You don't feel the pain of the insult, you don't feel the pain of getting hurt, and most importantly, you don't feel the pain of your reaction to everything.
