[belamyi]

Cuantos hablan de mí no me conocen, y al hablar me calumnian; los que me conocen callan, y al callar no me defienden; así, todos me maldicen hasta que me encuentran, mas al encontrarme descansan, y a mí me salvan, aunque yo nunca descanso.

“Fall, leaves, fall; die, flowers, away; Lengthen night and shorten day; Every leaf speaks bliss to me Fluttering from the autumn tree. I shall smile when wreaths of snow Blossom where the rose should grow; I shall sing when night’s decay Ushers in a drearier day.”

— Emily Brontë

Reality is what others, wittingly or unwittingly, will allow you to get away with.
