“I’ve worked too hard and too long to let anything stand in the way of my goals. I will not let my teammates down, and I will not let myself down.”
“I’ve felt alone, cold, and clothed in shame for too long. Let the sunlight be my blanket, wardrobe, and toilet paper.”
“I have not let myself be stultified by science, whose highest goal is to furnish a `waiting room', which it would be best to tear down.”
“Ah, I could lay me down in this long grassAnd close my eyes, and let the quiet windBlow over me”
“I'd fought hard, and I learned that I could take a hit and keep going. And I'd never let myself get knocked down again”
“It's been so long since I've let myself feel anger that I don't just feel it. It covers my mouth and I swallow it down, the taste sharp and metal as though I'm gnawing through foilware.”
