Well, everyone has their faults, don’t they? As beautiful as he may be from the outside, he seems to prove that beauty is only skin deep. It’s what’s inside a person that matters.

This is so powerful and authentic, Ben. Things I've heard and read about since I was a child, now I'm right there in the moment. You have a distinct and enviable talent, my friend.
