I think the true mark of emotional maturity is the ability to treat other people with respect and kindness even after a bad day. Unhappiness is never a penchant for alienating or hurting those who love you.
I admire fiction, am amused and excited by the oversimplification of life it represents. I don't want to become a character in fiction myself, however, and I want to get along very well with you. Kurt Vonnegut.
