"It seems as if only now I really……" — Kirk Douglas
"It seems as if only now I really know who I am. My strengths, my weaknesses, my jealousiesits as if all of it has been boiling in a pot for all these years, and as it boils, it evaporates into steam, and all thats left in the pot in the end is your essence, the stuff you started out with in the very beginning."
