The important towns they build are only retreats, their quarrels the malaise of men who cannot find their way home. India knows of their trouble.

Alan ChambersIsn't that how it is when you must decide with your heart? You are not just choosing one thing over another. You are choosing what you want. And you are also choosing what somebody else does not want, and all the consequences that follow. You can tell yourself, That's not my problem, but those words do not wash the trouble away.
