The human mind was a devious organ, however, and it chiseled in stone that which would be best left unrecalled.

About This Quote

After seeing one side of the story, the human mind was a devious organ. It is our ability to remember what we have seen and heard, which often causes us to remember things in an incorrect way. The truth is that most people who are easy to please are not very happy, and most people who are difficult to please are not very happy either.
