Everyone has inside of him a piece of good news. The good news is that you don't know how great you can be! How much you can love! What you can accomplish! And what your potential is!

but i've slammed the door to my inner self; if he ever wants to force the lock again, he'll have to use a harder crowbar!

Not being able to go outside upsets me more than I can say, and I’m terrified our hiding place will be discovered and that we’ll be shot.

You can be lonely even when you are loved by many people, since you are still not anybody's one and only.

The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside

I never utter my real feelings about anything. My lighter, superficial side will always be too quick for the deeper side of me, and that's why it always wins.

I... keep trying to find a way to become what I'd like to be and what I could be if... if only there were no other people in the world.
