Quote by Michael Kleber-Diggs

“Fog borne of fatigue, fog of early morning, of restless middle-years sleeplessness, fog of cat hair in my eye, of dog, dogs, fog of darkness, fog of dreary days under a pseudo-autocracy, funk fog of high crimes and misdemeanors, fog of my daily compulsion toward work I do not want to do.”
