“You are trying to take this whole situation and push it down, and hide it. It’s not going to get you anywhere.”
“If you want a definition of what a coward is, it’s needing to push a whole class of people down so that you can walk on top of them.”
“Your thoughts will take you anywhere you want to go, or keep you from getting there.”
“You are livin’,” she says in feigned exasperation. “You just don’t see what I see. You got something special. Something you got from your ma. It’s a thing. I mean, I wish I had it. It’s this thing where you know what it’s going to take, and then you get it done. You push yourself and you get there.”
“Just remember, I am not going anywhere,” he said, still watching her lips. “And if you ever try to hide from me, I will not believe you are dead. I will find you. Count on it.”
“You won't get anywhere unless you try.”
