"When a man walks into a room,
he brings his whole life with him.
He has a million reasons for being anywhere.
Just ask him.
If you listen, he'll tell you how he got there,
how he forgot where he was going
and then he woke up.
If you listen, he'll tell you about the time
he thought he was an angel,
or dreamt of being perfect.
And then he'll smile with wisdom,
content that he'd realised
the world isn't perfect.
We're flawed because we want so much more.
We're ruined because we get these things
and wish for what we had."
Don Draper's monologue, Mad Men, S.4-Ep.8.
