Whenever I'm with my mother, I feel as though I have to spend the whole time avoiding land mines.

I was intelligent enough to make up my own mind. I not only had freedom of choice, I had freedom of expression.

Seeing her this last time, I threw myself on her body. And she opened her eyes slowly. I was not scared. I knew she could see me and what she had finally done. So i shut her eyes with my fingers and told her with my heart: I cah see the truth, too. I am strong, too.

You should think about your character. Know where you are changing, how you will be changed, what cannot be changed back again.

It was a distorted form of inverse logic: If hopes never come true, then hope for what you don't want.

Chance is the first step you take, luck is what comes afterward.

Your only shame is to have shame.
