“Generations have kept on running, afraid to turn and look back. But you cannot outrun pain. It will creep down the branches of your family tree until it finds someone who is tiring of the sprint.

"(...) after years of observing my own family, I’ve grown convinced that when you swallow your pain it never does digest. I suspect that untreated pain curdles your blood and changes your code. It sinks into your bones, it blisters to the surface, and then it presents like diabetes, alcoholism, depression, obsessive compulsion, cancer.”
