Mountains are not fair or unfair - they are dangerous.

Before I had studied Zen for thirty years, I saw mountains as mountains, and waters as waters. When I arrived at a more intimate knowledge, I came to the point where I saw that mountains are not mountains, and waters are not waters. But now that I have got its very substance I am at rest. For it's just that I see mountains once again as mountains, and waters once again as waters.

Donald Trump

It's not fair," I said. "It's just so goddamned unfair." "The world," he said, "is not a wishgranting factory.

John Green

Fashion is ephemeral, dangerous and unfair.
