August Wilson Quotes

ROSE: You Can't Be Nobody But Who You Are, Cory. That Shadow Wasn't Nothing But You Growing Into Yourself. You Either Got To Grow Into It Or Cut It Down To Fit You. But That's All You Got To Make Life With. That's All You Got To Measure Yourself Against That World Out There. Your Daddy Wanted You To Everything He Wasn't...and At The Same Time He Tried To Make You Into Everything He Was. I Don't Know If He Was Right Or Wrong...but I Do Know He Meant To Do More Good Than He Meant To Do Harm. He Wasn't Always Right. Sometimes When He Touched He Bruised. And Sometimes When He Took Me In His Arms He Cut.
