Life is a series of problems.
But nothing will ever change if we keep pretend. People 'live out loud', as you say, not merely for themselves but for a more honest future.
It's hard not to hate. People, things, institutions. When they break your spirit and take pleasure in watching you bleed, hate is the only feeling that makes sense. That's what I need to tell you. To let you know how hard I'm trying not to cave under the weight of all the awful things I feel in my heart. When I look at my day, I realize most of it was spent cleaning up the damage of the day before. In that life I have no future. All I have is distraction and remorse.
There’s an old saying: that which doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. I don’t believe that. I think the things that try to kill you make you angry and sad. Strength comes from the good things — your family, your friends, the satisfaction of hard work. Those are the things that keep you whole. Those are the things to hold on to when you’re broken.
A true outlaw finds the balance between the passion in his heart and the reason in his mind. The outcome is the balance of might and right.
A good father and a good outlaw can't settle inside the same man.

Instead of thinking that you put pieces together that will add up to a whole, I think you have to start with the premise that they're already together and you try to keep from destroying life by segmenting it, overorganizing it and dehumanizing it. You try to keep things together. The educative process must be organic, and not an assortment of unrelated methods and ideas.
I was shaking all over, and it wasn't from the vampire. Memories have teeth, too.
Follow your heart, but check it with your head.
