1 " In this city today there are twenty men, all about your age, who have no family ties with me, who have never given me a cent, who had no special reason and certainly no obligation to help me or even to like me. And yet from every one of them I've gotten more kindness, advice, assistance, and just plain human consideration than I've ever gotten from you - and to every one of them I feel closer, infinitely closer, than I do to you. Now this is a fact, Dad: a simple fact. "
― Edwin O'Connor , I Was Dancing
