Invisible Man

"History is what you make of it."

"We do not accept responsibility for our past."

"Responsibility is where power begins."

"I had to learn to use the darkness."

"Everyone wants to use you for something."

"I'm not ashamed of my past; I'm ashamed of my present."

"What did they think I was, a dancing bear?"

"The only authority I accept is myself."

"I had been looking for myself all along."

"They wanted my eyes and ears and mouth."

"I had to live with dishonor, with a lie."

"The most insidious and fatal thing is this acceptance."

"I was looking for myself and asking everyone except myself questions."

"Perhaps all this blackness is simply whiteness in disguise."

"I do not know which of the two is now real: Ken's friendship or his hate."

"The world doesn't see me."

"I've often wished it possible for me to pass the experience on to others."

"Being invisible provides a kind of freedom."

"I am invisible, not because of any biochemical accident, but because of the peculiar disposition of the eyes of those who look at me."

"In the end, we are what we choose to be."

"Blindness has many forms."

"I am still invisible, but now I know why."

"The race is not to the swift, but to the aware."

"I learned that words have power beyond measure."

"The pattern of my life was not of my own making."

"We are all invisible to someone."

"In the darkness, I have found my light."

"I am not responsible for what they see."

"What is the nature of my existence?"

"The truth will make you free, but first it will make you miserable."
