“All happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.”

A battle is won by him who is firmly resolved to win it.

It’s not given to people to judge what’s right or wrong. People have eternally been mistaken and will be mistaken, and in nothing more than in what they consider right and wrong.

The only absolute knowledge attainable by man is that life is meaningless.

It’s the holidays that mean to spread love and cheer to all who are near.

I guess I was the son you didn’t want but I grew into a man every mother would love. In your rejection, I was forced to find acceptance I filled your absence with the strength to be better.
