“I have wanted women whose very shoes are worth all I have ever possessed.”

“All the things I thought I was - simple and plain and sometime funny - are very small words. They do not begin to describe me. They do not begin to express what is inside of me. I have value, and I have worth. I cannot be replaced like old shoes or taken for granted like tap water.”

“Some women have a weakness for shoes... I can go barefoot if necessary. I have a weakness for books.”

“I have never, I think, wanted to 'belong' to a group whose interests were not mine, nor have I resented exclusion. Why should thet accept me? All I have ever asked is that others should go their way and let me go mine.”

“More than anything, all I have ever wanted is to be close to someone.More than anything, all I have ever wanted is to feel as if i wasn't alone.”
