“People ask without wanting to know.”

“...What I want is to be like I him. I want the gall, the gumption--for that is what it takes--to ask people I do not know if I may come into their lives, without fearing that they might say no, or fearing that once they let me in, they might hurt me. I want to know, truly know, others, reach out to people who would otherwise just come and go, passing through my life as strangers.”

“People ask all the time how I'm doing, but the truth is, they don't really want to know.”

“People always ask me that, how it feels to be an orphan. I don't know. I want to ask them how it feels to have a family.”

“Never ask people. Not about your work. Don't you know what you want? How can you stand it, not to know?”

“We just want to be where we're supposed to be. We just want to be with the people we want to be with. I don't think that's asking for too much, ya know what I'm saying?”
