Quote by Oliver Bowden

“We are free to follow our own path. There are those which would take that freedom from us, and too many of you- too many of us- alas- gladly give it. But we have it within our power to choose- to choose whatever we deem true- and it is the exercise of that power which makes us human. There is no book or teacher to give us the answers, to show us a path. So- choose your own way! Do not follow me, or anyone else!”

“I surrendered my identity in your eyes. Now I'm just like everybody else, and it's so funny, the way monogamy is funny, the way someone falling down in the street is funny. I entered a revolving door and emerged as a human being. When you think of me is my face electronically blurred? I remember your collarbone, forming the tiniest satellite dish in the universe, your smile as the place where parallel lines inevitably crossed. Now dinosaurs freeze to death on your shoulder. I remember your eyes: fifty attack dogs on a single leash, how I once held the soft audience of your hand. I've been ignored by prettier women than you, but none who carried the heavy pitchers of silence so far, without spilling a drop.”
