Jesús, alguna vez quise decir las palabras, pero apenas podía admitirlo ante mí mismo, y mucho menos a ella. En el fondo yo sabía que era un pedazo de mierda, y ella se merecía algo mejor. Una parte de mí quería que la llevara a la habitación y mostrarle por qué ella era diferente, pero también fue lo único que me detuvo. Ella era mi opuesto: Inocente en la superficie, y dañada profundamente en su interior. Había algo en ella que necesitaba en mi vida, y aunque no estaba seguro de lo que era, no podía dar a mis malos hábitos y joderla. Ella era el tipo de las que perdona, yo podía ver, pero tenía líneas dibujadas que yo sabía que no debía cruzarlas. ↗

Many a happiness in life, as many a disaster, can be due to chance, but the peace within us can never be governed by chance. ↗

I thought the Vietnam war was an utter, unmitigated disaster, so it was very hard for me to say anything good about it. ↗
