“I’d think, That ain’t me, that ain’t my face. It wasn’t even me when I was trying to be that face. I wasn’t even really me then; I was just being the way I looked, the way people wanted. It don’t seem like I ever have been me.”
— Ken Kesey, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest

“Maybe we can get coffee together sometime and I’ll wear my prettiest apologies and you’ll bring a bouquet of forgiveness and I’ll tell you how awful that it had to be this way.

— Heartbreak for breakfast.
