From the song 'Coward Of The County' by Kenny Rogers:

His father told him:
Promise me, son, not to do the things I've done.
Walk away from trouble if you can.
It won't mean you're weak if you turn the other cheek.
I hope you're old enough to understand:
Son, you don't have to fight to be a man.

But, he discovered:
Sometimes you have to fight to be a man....

"There are four kinds of people in the world, Ms. Harper. Those who build walls. Those who protect walls. Those who breach walls. And those who tear down walls. Much of life is discovering who you are. When you find out, you also realize there are places you can no longer go, things you can no longer do, words you can no longer say."
- P. S. Baber, Cassie Draws the Universe
