Dylan Klebold

Before Columbine happened, I would have been one of those parents, i think we like to believe that our love and our understanding is protective, and that ‘if anything were wrong with my kids, I would know,’ but I didn’t know, and I wasn’t able to stop him from hurting other people. I wasn’t able to stop his hurting himself and it’s very hard to live with that.

The one thing, of course, that I want to say is I am so sorry for what my son did, yet I know that just saying ‘I’m sorry’ is such an inadequate response to all this suffering, there is never a day that goes by where I don’t think of the people that Dylan harmed.

Awareness signs the warrant for suffering.

Ignorance is bliss, happiness is ambition, desolation is knowledge, pain is acceptance.

What fun is life without a little death?
