Dennis Lehane Quotes

Dave Watched Him Standing Up At The Bar, Chatting With One Of The Old Dockworkers As He Waited For His Drinks, Dave Thinking The Guys In Here Knew What It Was To Be Men. Men Without Doubts, Men Who Never Questioned The Rightness Of Their Own Actions, Men Who Weren't Confused By The World Or What Was Expected Of Them In It.
It Was Fear, He Guessed. That's What He'd Always Had That They Didn't. Fear Had Settled Into Him At Such An Early Age - Permanently, The Way Val's Prison Friend Had Claimed Sadness Did. Fear Had Founda Place In Dave And Never Left, And So He Feared Doing Wrong And He Feared Fucking Up And He Feared Not Being Intelligent And He Feared Not Being A Good Husband Or A Good Father Or Much Of A Man. Fear Had Been In Him So Long He Wasn't Sure He Could Remember What It Had Felt Like To Live Without It.
