“Without this flock, I would be worthless. Without the people in this flock, I'd be empty. Without the people who started this flock, I'd be dead.”

“I liked this rich lifestyle, but I loved the poor lifestyle better. The less money people had, the less greedy they seemed to be. The people who lived around our flocks seemed to always love everyone around them. Even though they aren’t always happy and can’t always afford the bills, they are still glad to be alive.”

“I was a person full of wishes but without a star.”

“I couldn’t help but feel as if everyone had lied about everything. We all had secrets. We all had a dark side to our innocent cover. I wondered what we would be like, if we had been completely honest with each other in the first place. Maybe more people would be alive, but then again, more people could be dead.”

“I wouldn’t be who I am today if it wasn’t for the people I had met and the people I had lost.”

“I may be a homeless, old man, but that doesn’t make me worthless.”

“I didn't particularly feel like explaining myself to eighteen bewildered people.”
