“A smile is a confusing thing. It is an inviting facial expression; yet, it can be easily faked. However, it is better to walk this world with a fake smile than an expressionless face that is real. In childhood, even into early adulthood, you can get away with giving the world the finger. It’s cute in the eyes of the grown up world. Adulthood really starts when you bottle up that middle finger and put on that fake smile to pass through the world in between the other fake smiles. I knew I could never do that. I had to find another way.” — Paul S. Anderson
