"All my life needed was a sense of
someplace to go. I don't believe that one should devote his life to morbid
self-attention. I believe that someone should become a person like other
people...Loneliness has followed me my whole life. Everywhere. In bars, in
cars, sidewalks, stores, everywhere. There's no escape. I'm God's lonely
man...My life has taken another turn again. The days can go on with regularity
over and over, one day indistinguishable from the next. A long continuous
chain. Then suddenly, there is a change...Now I see it clearly. My whole life
is pointed in one direction. I see that now. There never has been any choice
for me."
