“ In some ways, you know, people that don’t exist are much nicer than people that do. For instance, people that don’t exist are never cross: and they never contradict you: and they never tread on your toes! Oh, they’re ever so much nicer than people that do exist! However, never mind: you can’t help existing, you know: and I dare say you’re just as nice as if you didn’t.
— Charles Dodgson (via quote-book)
