“Deep down, the young are lonelier than the old.”

“Deep down I know I could never be that innocent again, however much I'd like to be.”

“I want to write, but more than that, I want to bring out all kinds of things that lie buried deep in my heart.”

“The young are not afraid of telling the truth.”

“It seems to me that, later on, neither I nor anyone else will be interested in the chatterings of a 13-year-old schoolgirl…”

“There's something happening everyday, but I'm too tired and lazy to write it all down.”

“We aren't allowed to have any opinions. People can tell you to keep your mouth shut, but it doesn't stop you having your own opinion. Even if people are still very young, they shouldn't be prevented from saying what they think.”
