“Make life, make life, make life. What sort of life? We can prune and water and weed ourselves, but we can't stop the rot once it gets in.”

“He wasn't ready yet, he thought. There was more living he had to do before he was a man. Someone should have stopped him before he got here. Here he was, still flying forward into the next minute and the next, closer and closer to the terrible moment when he would have to give up and become himself. He thought, I don't want to, I don't want to, I'm scared.”
― Allen Bratton, Henry Henry
