To be left alone on the tightrope of youthful unknowing is to experience the excruciating beauty of full freedom and the threat of eternal indecision. Few, if any, survive their teens. Most surrender to the vague but murderous pressure of adult conformity. It becomes easier to die and avoid conflict than to maintain a constant battle with the superior forces of maturity.

Most plain girls are virtuous because of the scarcity of opportunity to be otherwise.

I don't trust any revolution where love is not allowed.

I'm grateful to be of use. I will not be misused or abused, but I will be of use to anybody.

Because of our routines we forget that life is an ongoing adventure.

The most important thing is to DARE.

One must know not just how to accept a gift, but with what grace to share it.
