None of us can help the things life has done to us. Theyre
done before you realize it, and once theyre done they make you do other things
until at last everything comes between you and what youd like to be, and
youve lost your true self forever.
(Long Day's Journey Into Night)
It was a great mistake, my being born a man, I would have
been much more successful as a seagull or a fish. As it is, I will always be a
stranger who never feels at home, who does not really want and is not really
wanted, who can never belong, who must be a little in love with death!
