" 'That's the duty of the old,' said the Librarian, 'to be anxious on the behalf of the young.  And the duty of the young is to scorn the anxiety of the old.'  They sat for a while longer, and then parted, for it was late, and they were old and anxious."

"We accept the love we think we deserve."

"So, I guess was are who we are for a lot of reasons.  And maybe we'll never know most of them.  But even if we don't have the power to choose where we come from, we can still choose where we go from there.  We can still do thing.  And we can try to feel okay about them."
