“You have a worth outside of a job, outside the "jacket" imposed on you since birth.”
“...on the job there was nothing but the job. You left the shit outside the door. You could always pick it up on your way back out.”
“I’ve always been a sort of self-imposed outsider, not a geeky outsider or a snobby outsider but, I just have a natural desire to live on the fringe. I’m not like a weirdo with a trench-coat but I just prefer to be alone or minimally surrounded by people.”
“Discipline imposed from the outside eventually defeats when it is not matched by desire from within.”
“Outside show is a poor substitute for inner worth.”
“It is not always the job of people shouting outside impressive buildings to solve problems. It is often the job of the people inside, who have paper, pens, desks, and an impressive view.”
