"I was running away. Same as I've always done... I ran away. I realized that I always defined myself in terms of what I wasn't.  I wasn't a good soldier like my father, I wasn't the job, I wasn't a good prospect for marriage or kids. Always what I wasn't. Never what I was. But when you do that you miss the moments. And the moments are all we've got." - Dr. Franklin in Babylon 5.
