Three generations before I was the one meant for the necklace. I saw him when I was three years old, so clear and strong that he could slip his warm hand in mine, he could lift me in theair, yes, lift my body, but I refused him. I turned my back on him. I told him, You go back to the hell from which you came. And I used my power to fight him. Anne Rice
About This Quote

A person’s first impression of a person is often their lasting impression. A child may have a first impression of a person and have no idea why. A child has the power to reject what they first saw and choose not to see it again. They also have the power to accept what they first saw and to look at it with different eyes.

To this day, I still refuse to look at the image of that man that I saw as a three-year-old child. I refuse to let that image stay locked inside of me and therefore I don’t see him as the monster he is.
