“When we are green, still half created, we believe our dreams are our rights and that falling and dying are for quitters. We live on the innocent and monstrous assurance that we have a special arrangement whereby we will be allowed to stay green forever. But one day–maybe not today and maybe not tomorrow–it is inevitable that we will come face-to-face with the realization that life is a lot harder than we ever could have imagined; and on that day we will find out who we really are.”
~Tobias Wolf, American Author, passage taken from This Boy’s Life
