“Mom delivered us from the Wild Things. But maybe the Wild Things are exactly what we need.”

“Men are like pickup trucks - We do best when we have weight in the bed. On icy roads, we tend to ski around when there is no weight over the rear tires. We perform best when we carry a load, when others count on us. This is when we rise, when we find our strength.”

“We are not who we were born to be. Inside, we feel soft. Passive. We live under Mom's control instead of our wildness. In my life, this passivity shows up as indecision... I choose by making no choice, in the name of caution.”

“We disengage from life, simply because we are afraid to fail. Men leave jobs, families, and responsibilities. Or we live hidden away from life, in basements or bars, drinking our lives away. Over time, we become wraiths, shadow-men living apart from reality and destiny.”
