‘Believe it or Not’—yanno, where they sing believe it or not, I’m walkin’ on air—and
Did this book actually just reference the first single I ever bought with my own money, aka the theme from The Greatest American Hero. Just. I cannot.

Good grief, when had I got so used to having him beside me—warmth and all, cologne and all—that I’d become addicted? Because that’s what it must be. I was so used to having my emotional support vampire there that I was going into withdrawal when I couldn’t have him.

“Are you seriously trying to hype me up for the next fight?” I demanded, following him down the left hand lane of the labyrinth. “Push through the burn? What are you, a fitness instructor?”

“Critics who treat 'adult' as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.”
