You need an attitude of service. You're not just serving yourself. You help others to grow up and you grow with them.

If you can, help others; if you cannot do that, at least do not harm them.

I didn't grow up with any concept of people being deviants unless they mistreated others.

Try to help others. Consult their weaknesses, relieve their maladies; strive to raise them up, and by so doing you will most effectually raise yourself up also.

Certain characters are sticky, especially if they help you grow up as a person, I think.

You grow up the day you have the first real laugh at yourself.
