Origin(al) Ounce of Truth

Original sin was not the apple that Eve ate, it was her belief that Adam needed to share precisely the thing she had tasted.

He said something like:
"In all the languages in the world, there is the same proverb: 'What the eyes don't see, the heart doesn't grieve over.' Well, I say that there isn't an ounce of truth in it. The further off they are, the closer to the heart are all those feelings that we try to repress and forget. If we're in exile, we want to store away every tiny memory of our roots. If we're far from the person we love, everyone we pass in the street reminds of of them."
