“ I carry your heart with me (I carry it in my heart).”
“ To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you like everybody else is to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight.”
“ It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are.”
“ You are tired (I think) of the always words.”
“ The most wasted of days is one without laughter.”
