I believe that before anything else I'm a human being; just as much as you are... or at any rate I shall try to become one. I know quite well that most people would agree with you, Torvald, and that you have warrant for it in books; but I can't be satisfied any longer with what most people say, and with what's in books. I must think things out for myself and try to understand them. ~Henrik Ibsen

I know some of you are, thinking, maybe I deserved it. But before you start pointing fingers, let me ask you. Is what I did really so bad? So bad I deserved to die?
