“People can have their opinions about everything in the world, but people's opinions end where the tip of my nose begins. Your opinions of others can only go so far as to where their own shoreline is. The world is for your taking, but other people are not.

Before people educate themselves on everything about you, they're not allowed to open their venomous mouthes and have an opinion about you.”

Γιατί με είχε σε μια μόνιμη ταραχή, σε μια διαρκή διαμαρτυρία και σ’ ένα πολύ γόνιμο παράπονο… Από την άλλη, είχα μια ευγένεια η οποία με κατέστρεψε απολύτως! Εμπόδισε δηλαδή τη ζωή μου να πάρει το δρόμο της. Υπέμεινα πράγματα τα οποία δεν έπρεπε να υπομείνω, με το αιτιολογικό μιας ευγένειας ότι θα πίκραινα, ότι θα πείραζα, ότι θ’ αναστάτωνα των άλλων τη ζωή. Αυτό ήταν μία ήττα. Καθαρή ήττα...”
