As a writer, I think I'm more an eye than an ear - the world comes mainly in for me at the eye. So I'm glad the visuals came through for you. As I'm writing my books, I really do see them almost literally - I experience scenes almost as an onlooker, watching from the outside. (Donna Tartt)

But I'm glad you'll see me as I am. Above all, I wouldn't want people to think that I want to prove anything. I don't want to prove anything, I just want to live; to cause no evil to anyone but myself. I have that right, haven't I? View quote

No habit or quality is more easily acquired than hypocrisy, nor any thing sooner learned than to deny the sentiments of our hearts and the principle we act from: but the seeds of every passion are innate to us, and nobody comes into the world without them. View quote
Bernard Mandeville
Figure out who you are separate from your family, and the man or woman you're in a relationship with. Find who you are in this world and what you need to feel good alone. I think that's the most important thing in life. Find a sense of self because with that, you can do anything else. View quote
