Life At Best Is Bittersweet.

Life At Best Is Bittersweet.

I Had Very High Respect For The Pratt Institute, But I Thought That I Had Done My Best, And That Was Not Their Version Of The Best.

My Purpose Was What My Father's Purpose Was - To Make A Living And To Have A Family. I Was Going To Do The Right Thing. My Dream To Me Was To Have Money To Support It And To Live In The Kind Of House I Liked.

I Wasn't The Kind Of Student That Pratt Was Looking For. They Wanted Patient People Who Would Work On Something Forever. I Didn't Want To Work On Any Project Forever. I Intended To Get Things Done.

I Never Had Stock Endings. I Didn't Believe In Stock Endings. To Make The [reader] Happy Was Not My Objective, But To Make The [reader] Say, "yeah, That's What Would Happen" - That Was My Objective.
