We rode in silence, I think all of us wondering what was behind the flowery wallpaper our perceptions had always pasted on the unknown. All the things the mind won't allow us to see, to protect our sanity, or our soul, or maybe just to keep the shit out of our pants. David Wong
About This Quote

We rode in silence, I think all of us wondering what was behind the flowery wallpaper our perceptions had always pasted on the unknown. All the things the mind won't allow us to see, to protect our sanity, or our soul, or maybe just to keep the shit out of our pants. The words in this quote are metaphors for how we see things in the world. The words in the quote describe how we see things in black and white (not pink or gray).

We like to think that people are either good or bad, but most often they are somewhere in between. This is true in real life as well. People are not all good or bad.

They are not all beautiful or beautiful, and they are not all ugly or ugly. Some people do fall into stereotypes (like having an eye patch), but most people fit somewhere between those two extreme descriptions. We like to pretend that everyone fits neatly into one category so we can live in a world where nothing is ever gray.

But sometimes when we look at something too closely, we realize that there’s more than one way to interpret the same thing.
