You can't choose your childhood, it's just what happens to you. But after that you choose. And that's really what (makes you).

Kim Stanley Robinson
About This Quote

We all had some kind of childhood. Some of us had a good one and some of us had a bad one. But every one of those childhoods were just as important as the one we have now. Whether it was a normal one or a hard one, our childhood was a big part of who we are now. It shapes us into the people we are today and that is how we become who we are going to be in the future.
