“Be what I think? But I think of being so many things!”

“It is life, I think, to watch the water. A man can learn so many things.”

“He was thinking what a long and wide thing time is, to have so many happenings in it.”

“I always think the best thing about high school is that it's so many years ago.”

“I have things in my head that are not like what anyone taught me — shapes and ideas so near to me, so natural to my way of being and thinking.”

“There are some things about myself I can’t explain to anyone. There are some things I don’t understand at all. I can’t tell what I think about things or what I’m after. I don’t know what my strengths are or what I’m supposed to do about them. But if I start thinking about these things in too much detail the whole thing gets scary. And if I get scared I can only think about myself. I become really self-centered, and without meaning to, I hurt people. So I’m not such a wonderful human being.”
