Ken Poirot
One day I woke up and realized no amount of love, care, pain, hurt, anger, or retribution could ever transform those who are evil into good or kind people. That day I let go; I stopped caring for them, gave up any hope for their souls, and knew they were never worthy of me or my time.
Ken Poirot

Jack Kerouac
I forgave everybody, I gave up, I got drunk.
Jack Kerouac, On the Road
