The answer can't be found in books - or be solved by bringing it to other people. Not unless you want to remain a child all your life. You've got to find the answer inside you - feel the right thing to do. Charlie, you've got to learn to trust yourself

Why am I always looking at life through a window?

I am afraid. Not of life, or death, or nothingness, but of wasting it as if I had never been.

So this is how a person can come to despise himself-knowing he's doing the wrong thing and not being able to stop.

How can I make him understand that he did not create me? He makes the same mistake as the others when they look at a feeble-minded person and laugh because they don't understand there are human feelings involved.

Only a short time ago, I learned that people laughed at me. Now I can see that unknowingly I joined them in laughing at myself. That hurts the most.

There are so many doors to open. I am impatient to begin." --Charlie Gordan
