Interesting quote from "August Snow (An August Snow Novel Book 1)"

Hi - I'm reading "August Snow (An August Snow Novel Book 1)" by Stephen Mack Jones and wanted to share this quote with you.

""I think you were probably breast fed by Ayn Rand, raised by L. Ron Hubbard and educated by Malcolm Forbes. I think you're a vindictive narcissist deluded by his own self-worth. I think you're probably capable of killing someone if, in your assessment, they impede your vision of a more powerful future. I also know for a fact that if you did kill Eleanor Paget, I would take you down hard, ugly and fast." Again, we stared at each other for a moment. Suddenly Atchison roared with laughter, rolling back on the sofa like a child and clapping vigorously. "That was so freakin' cool! 'I will take you down hard, ugly and fast,'" he repeated through his laughter. "Mind if I use that for this conference call I've got?""

The Art of Decision-Making | The New Yorker

Before having children, you may enjoy clubbing, skydiving, and LSD; you might find fulfillment in careerism, travel, cooking, or CrossFit; you may simply relish your freedom to do what you want. Having children will deprive you of these joys. And yet, as a parent, you may not miss them. You may actually prefer changing diapers, wrangling onesies, and watching "Frozen." These activities may sound like torture to the childless version of yourself, but the parental version may find them illuminated by love, and so redeemed. You may end up becoming a different person—a parent. The problem is that you can't really know, in advance, what "being a parent" is like. For Paul, there's something thrilling about this quandary. Why should today's values determine tomorrow's? In her 2014 book, "Transformative Experience," she suggests that living "authentically" requires occasionally leaving your old self behind "to create and discover a new self." Part of being alive is awaiting the "revelation" of "who you'll become."
