When I get logical, and I don't trust my instincts - that's when I get in trouble.

Without pain, there would be no suffering, without suffering we would never learn from our mistakes. To make it right, pain and suffering is the key to all windows, without it, there is no way of life.

I'm odd looking. Sometimes I think I look like a funny muppet.

By remembering that I don't know sadness or pain like the people do in the camp and to be sad will not help them.

It's hard to be clear about who you are when you are carrying around a bunch of baggage from the past. I've learned to let go and move more quickly into the next place.
