Whoever doesn't know it must learn and find by experience that a quiet conscience makes one strong.

I am what a romantic movie is to a profound thinker - a mere diversion, a comic interlude, something that is soon forgotten.

I've found that there is always some beauty left -- in nature, sunshine, freedom, in yourself; these can all help you.

Although I'm only fourteen, I know quite well what I want, I know who is right and who is wrong. I have my opinions, my own ideas and principles, and although it may sound pretty mad from an adolescent, I feel more of a person than a child, I feel quite indepedent of anyone.

An empty day, though clear and bright, Is just as dark as any night.

Go outsideamidst the simple beauty of natureand know that as long as places like this exist, there will be comfort for every sorrow, whatever the circumstances may be.

leave me in peace, let me sleep one night at least without my pillow being wet with tears, my eyes burning and my head throbbing
