I don't think that I could ever be a strict dad. I never grew up with anybody strict in my life. I'm not saying I'm a role model by any means or anything.

If it's purely autobiographical and ego-driven, it's going to fail. ~Nick Flynn
#quotes #nick-flynn #self #universe #ego

So what can you do to stop yourself from tilting and falling all over again? ~Amy Tan
