About This Quote

The quote, “All that sadness. All that anger. It is the smoke that gets into your eyes. If you do not blow it away, how can you hope to see?” is a brilliant and insightful take on the all-too-common problem of letting things get to us and our inability to shake off those feelings.

The quote is written as if the speaker is writing about distance or something that can be blown away by a puff of air. The speaker goes on to say that without blowing away those feelings, we will never see clearly and we will be unable to see beyond those feelings and beyond our circumstances.
