Quotes by Matt Wesolowski (?)

“A lot of youngsters nowadays grow up being parented by devices. Parents try and fix all their children’s problems by giving them things. A lot of the older generations, the baby-boomers, grew up with very tight rules, very dictatorial parents, and they wanted to change that. So it swings the other way, those parents don’t want to see their children disappointed. Ever. That’s not healthy either, not allowing your child to feel disappointment, to want something and not get it.”
― Matt Wesolowski, Beast

“I’ve always run; but I ran a lot after Scarclaw. Great long routes, cross countries, miles and miles, head down. If something like that ever happens to you, running is the best thing. I’d recommend it to anyone. I used to run until my legs had gone, my knees, my ankles; till I was dead on my bloody feet. It was the only thing that helped … it just kind of ordered it all in my head.”
― Matt Wesolowski, Six Stories
