“Die unglaubliche Reise des Smithy Ide – Ron McLartyLieblingszitat:“Lieber Smithy, das hier ist mein Brief an dich, aber ich werde ihn nicht abschicken.

“Maybe it´s because we all sat together for a while and concentrated on exactly the same thing. That could be it. Like how everybody becomes one person for a little bit and how the tiniest thing affects everybody in almost the exact same way”

“Good people protect people they love even if that means that pretending that everything is okay.”

“Good books that often I would hate to finish because they took me into their lives and let me out of mine, for a while anyway.”

“I don't like to touch, and I don't like to be touched.”
