“Alone. The saddest word in the world.”

“This morning when I left Mom's parting words were, "Come straight home after school." Wow! Like I'm going to get stoned at 3:30—it doesn't sound so bad at that.”

“I wouldn't intentionally hurt anyone in this whole world. I wouldn't hurt them physically or emotionally, how then can people so consistently do it to me? Even my parents treat me like I'm stupid and inferior and ever short. I guess I'll never measure up to anyone's expectations. I surely don't measure up to what I'd like to be.”

“I wanted to write in you.”

“The complete bottom has fallen out of my life.”

“Querido Diario: Han transcurrido mil años lunares, del tiempo lunar. Todoel mundo ha estado contando historias menos yo. No tengo nada digno quecontar. Todo lo que puedo hacer es dibujar monstruos, órganos internos yodiar.”

“Tal vez ha sido bueno sufrir tanto, pues eso me hará más comprensiva y tolerante con el resto de la humanidad.”
