I have a brother. They say, you put us together, we are like one person, you know? When we are young, his hair, it is very blond, very light, and people say, he is the good one. And my hair it is very dark, darker than yours even, and people say I am the rogue, you know? I am the bad one. And now time passes, and my hair is gray. His hair too, I think, is gray. And you look at us, you would not know who was light, who was dark. Neil Gaiman
About This Quote

This is a true story of two brothers, let’s call them Kyle and Owen. Kyle was the good one, the blond one with dark hair. Owen was the bad one, the dark haired one. But time passed, and both brothers changed.

Kyle turned from a good boy into a great young man, and Owen turned from a bad boy to a respected man in his community. In fact, everyone loved him. But there were still those who said that Kyle was the good one and Owen was the rogue.

It’s not true! You can’t just look at someone for how they were in their younger years and say they are still that person today!
