Quote by Suh Yoon Lee

“Fixed ideas about emotions aren’t a scientific truth, but just conventional wisdom. The problem is when people get caught up in them. Fixed ideas are bound up with particular feelings, so they make it look like there’s nothing there but an already closed door. They make you unable to see another door that you’d see wide open beside you if you’d only turn your head.”
