“My outward appearance does not exhibit my inbred strength”
“To gain an overall understanding of oneself does not require looking outward - it requires the strength of looking inward.”
“I have met many people in my life who I consider beautiful. Not because of their outward appearance, but because of their hearts.”
“The three things I had going for me: an inbred Russian willingness to get drunk and chummy, an inbred Jewish willingness to laugh strategically at myself, and, most impressively, my new äppärät.”
“These words are not constructed of ink and paper. They are no formed of movement and sound. They are echoes of my soul. May they ripple outward and give strength to those who hear them.”
“I guess I thought the strength of my wanting would be enough to make him appear.”
