“Before I can live with other folks I’ve got to live with myself. The one thing that doesn’t abide by majority rule is a person’s conscience.”

“You see they could never, never understand that I live like I do because that's the way I want to live.”

“It’s never an insult to be called what somebody thinks is a bad name. It just shows you how poor that person is, it doesn’t hurt you.”

“With him, life was routine; without him, life was unbearable.”

“Even death has a heart.”

“..because never in my life have I ever been picked when there was another alternative.”

“It’s strange how things can change back as suddenly as they changed originally. When one thing happens and suddenly, things are back to normal.”

“Don't be afraid of death; be afraid of an unlived life. You don't have to live forever, you just have to live.”

““To put meaning in one's life may end in madness,”

“Genuine sincerity opens people's hearts, while manipulation causes them to close.”
