Illness can take on many forms. Those of the body are easy to treat. Much more difficult are the hidden maladies that fester in our hearts. The secret addictions that consume our souls. And the diseases we deny which affect our judgment. To survive we need to find that special someone who can heal us. But we can never predict who have the cure for what ails us. Or when they’ll show up.
Mary Alice, Desperate Housewives
I had to wonder if man were so blinded by beauty that they would feel privileged to live their lives with an actual demon, so long as it was a beautiful demon
