"I don't want to be alone, I want to be left alone."

"I have learnt how to live, how to be in the world and of the world, and not just to stand aside and watch."

"I have to be alone very often. I'd be quite happy if I spent from Saturday night until Monday morning alone in my apartment. That's how I refuel."

"When the world says, "Give up," Hope whispers, "Try it one more time".You have more potential than you believe you do."

"I'm sorry to say so but, sadly, it's true that Bang-ups and Hang-ups can happen to you."

"Things may happen and often do to people as brainy and footsy as you."
