Look, I have trouble even mentioning, even saying to myself, my own head the number of years. Â I no more think of myself as being as old as I am than fly. Quote
Cult Icon Posted March 14, 2024 Posted March 14, 2024  Man Tears, I have experienced the exact same scenario in my life, and surely have many others who saw this scene.   It is an intensely bitter-sweet feeling, it is an intensely felt defeat and yet also a small victory. A traumatic departure.  A defeat as one has struggled for so long and made the most terrible sacrifices but also a victory as one has performed their maximum, honorable effort despite getting crushed by outside circumstances beyond one's control. And a small consolation as others have witnessed and acknowledged such efforts.  "Jefferson: I've offered the President my resignation.  I cannot descend daily into the arena  to suffer martyrdom on every conflict..  Adams: We have been the best of partners..   Let us descend together! Let us fight together!..  Jefferson: My departure will be a great relief to me,  And no great loss to the public.  Adams: It will be a great loss to me.."
