I had a very happy childhood, but I still used my imagination as a leisure resort.

I like people. I like watching them. It's just that I'd prefer to do it from a mile away using very powerful binoculars.

Not everyone can be strong or clever. Not everyone can be beautiful. But we can ALL be brave!

Unhappy people do the oddest, most terrible things, just trying to keep despair at bay. All you have to do is accept them...go around them...take evasive action.

There are things roaming around inside my head as clever as Theseus in the Labyrinth. It's just that nobody ever gave them the necessary piece of string, so they'll never find their way out.

I hate clowns. You can't see what they're thinking.

What people don't understand, they laugh at.

He is everything, everything, everything I ever admired and wanted and couldn't have. He is everything I needed and couldn't find in real life. Of course he is. That's why I invented him.

If you want to please me very much, you will fall down when I shoot you," -Oates The White Darkness

The world is hollow. It's a lot to take in. Like cracking an egg and finding nothing inside. Or a full grown elephant.

We built that Wendy House our own selves, for Wendy! And you can't keep a Wendy out of her own Wendy House!

Things that aren't important, that have nothing to do with winning and losing, don't have to be a rule.

May God direct your path.

I still would have been in love with you and wanted a life with you, because of who you are. Not because of the things you did for me.

It is not the spirit of wealth, of learning, or of culture that can make the church of value, or a power for good in the world, but the spirit of Christ only.

Education is the key which opens the magical door of wisdom which reveals the beauty and purpose of life.

Women are a little more assertive in terms of our ability to express our feelings when we fall in love.

If somehow I can, before I leave this earth, combine my absolutely mad freedom and excitement with truth, then I will have done something.

That love is all there is, Is all we know of love.

To know and not to act is not to know.
