“We wouldn't worry nearly as much about what others thought of us if we recognize how seldom they do.”
“This is an evil dream, she thought. But if she were dreaming, why did it hurt so much?She tried to ask the shadows, but they did not answer. Perhaps they did not hear her. Perhaps they were not real.”
