“My father once told me that it’s not enough for a man to be lucky; that a guy has to know when that streak is on for him.”

“My father told me once that the most important thing every man should know is what he would die for.”

“Your father abandoned us. (Zephyra)I know. You’ve told me that enough that it’s permanently seared into my brain. Still, he’s a part of me and I’d like to have closure. (Medea)You really need to stop watching Oprah. (Zephyra)”
