“I want to make people cry even when they don't understand my words.”
“Sometimes people don't understand the promises they're making when they make them.”
“People understand me so poorly that they don't even understand my complaint about them not understanding me.”
“I want to make you laugh or cry when you read a story . . .or do both at the same time. I want your heart, in other words. If you want to learn something, go to school.”
“I don't want to cry. Everyone will make note of my tears and I'll be marked as an easy target. A weakling. I will give no one that satisfaction.”
“Don't you understand? I want to spend my life with you. I want you to be there when I go to bed at night and when I wake up in the morning.”
