I almost became Ripley

I've been thinking it's better to

pretend to be a big guy than to be a little guy and

then Peter said

how could you be a little guy you're the least likely to be that kind of person

gentle and sincere


someone said that to me
Impressive

but you get it
so perfect like peter
superior like dick
kind like Maggie you

I don't doubt you who said this
I'm just sure I'm not at all what you say



you'll say I'm too insecure
You will say that I have so many good qualities
You will say how much you like me

The girls
I know I try to get close to
them They are the real someboys
And I'm really just a nobody

I want to fit into their world But I I just don't belong to that world
so I'm stuck in it and I'm struggling
with lies and masks If I give you the key to the basement you 'll either be swallowed by the darkness inside you or you'll leave me forever and I'll be eaten by loneliness anyway

The Talented Mr. Ripley quotes

  • Herbert Greenleaf: You know, people always say that you can't choose your parents, but you can't choose your children...

  • Herbert Greenleaf: What a waste of lives and opportunities.

    [abruptly turning his attention to a street musician]

    Herbert Greenleaf: I'd pay that fellow a hundred dollars right now to shut up.
