Adam

“He’d turn to the next page in his paper and say: Well, that’s nice, Gordon, go ask your mother what’s for dinner. And don’t try to tell me different. I’ve met him.” I didn’t try”
― Stephen King, The Body

“You’re just a kid, Gordie—”

“Gee, thanks, Dad.”

“I wish to fuck I was your father!” he said angrily. “You wouldn’t go around talking about takin those stupid shop courses if I was! It’s like God gave you something, all those stories you can make up, and He said: This is what we got for you, kid. Try not to lose it. But kids lose everything unless somebody looks out for them and if your folks are too fucked up to do it then maybe I ought to.”
― Stephen King, The Body

“Love reads like a bad biography all the names are changed to protect the innocent”
― William Finn, Falsettos

“Love me for what I am
Not what I try to be.
Love me for what I am.
I am
A person who likes to lie too much.
I try too much
To impress other people...
Often my inferiors.”
― William Finn, The Marvin Songs : Three One-Act Musicals
