“Babbitt looked up irritably from the comic strips in the Evening Advocate. They composed his favorite literature and art, these illustrated chronicles in which Mr. Mutt hit Mr. Jeff with a rotten egg, and Mother corrected Father's vulgarisms by means of a rolling-pin.

“Anyone can achieve their fullest potential, who we are might be predetermined, but the path we follow is always of our own choosing.

Every man is born as many men and dies as a single one.”
― Martin Heidegger
