“I think for my parents it was like "A Boy Named Sue," the Johnny Cash song. A guy named Sue tries to track down his father to take it out on his father for naming him Sue. And his father says, "Look, I knew I wasn't going to be around. So I gave you the name so that you would grow up strong enough to take the hits and fight back." So I like to believe that's why my parents gave me this stupid name.” ThinkingTryingBelieveLooksEnoughGuySongFightingFatherNamesStrongGrowsParentBoysGrowing UpStupidTrackCashStrong EnoughLike A Boy Author:Domhnall Gleeson
“I heard the bells from the future churches, the children playing and laughing in the schoolyards [...] and here was an almond tree in bloom before me: I must reach out and cut a flowering branch.
