When you lose your face..., it is like dropping your necklace down a well. The only way you can get it back is to fall in after it.

I'd like to be more forgiving. There are times when I've had a hard time forgiving people who have betrayed me.

For all these years I kept my mouth closed so selfish desires would not fall out. And because I remained quiet for so long now my daughter does not hear me... All these years I kept my true nature hidden, running along like a small shadow so nobody could catch me. And because I moved so secretly now my daughter does not see me... We are lost, she and I, unseen and not seeing; unheard and not hearing, unknown by others.

Words to me were magic. You could say a word and it could conjure up all kinds of images or feelings or a chilly sensation or whatever. It was amazing to me that words had this power.

There are a lot of people who think that's what's needed to be successful is always being right, always being careful, always picking the right path.

We are living in a world where everything is false. The society is like bright paint applied on top of rotten wood.

I once sacrificed my life to keep my parents' promiise. This means nothing to you, because to you promises mean nothing... But later, she will forget her promise. She will forget she had a grandmother.
