“We’re just alike,... Plants and humans. Plants need to be loved the right way in order to
survive. So do humans. We rely on our parents from birth to love us enough to keep us alive.
And if our
parents show us the right kind of love, we turn out as better humans overall. But if we’re
neglected . . we’re neglected, we end up homeless and incapable of anything
meaningful”

And the term crazy arrives at us with none of the terror and worry you live with.”
