L'observateur est un prince qui jouit partout de son incognito.

Charles Baudelaire

Some guys that know me from when I was a kid say "My son, oh he's just like your father." It's just a natural part of our lives.

But I don't really pay much attention to that because I'm just expressing myself.
Ziggy Marley
