“I should no longer define myself as the son of a father who couldn’t or hasn’t or wouldn’t or wasn’t.”
“I feel that the sins of the fathers should not be visited on the sons.”
“Anyone who has gumption knows what it is, and anyone who hasn’t can never know what it is. So there is no need of defining it.”
“If I asked God to see into the future 50 years, and I couldn’t see myself, I wouldn’t assume I was dead. No, I’d assume I was simply hiding.”
“I wouldn’t be who I am today if it wasn’t for the people I had met and the people I had lost.”
“I saw myself in a piece of glass that wasn’t a mirror. Was that my doppelganger or my clone? Who was that? Who am I? Maybe if I hadn’t been acting like a reverse Peeping Tom, trying to look out into the world, this existential dilemma wouldn’t have popped up.”
