“-“I think everyone has ‘good’ inside him.
Everyone can feel happiness, and sadness and loneliness. But
sometimes people think someone’s a monster. But that’s only
because they can’t see the ‘good’ that’s there inside him. And
then a terrible thing happens.”
-“They kill him?”
-“No, even worse. They call him a monster, and other people
start calling him a monster, and everyone treats him like a
monster, and then after a while, he starts believing it himself.
He thinks he’s a monster too. So he acts like one. But he still
isn’t a monster. He still has lots of good, buried deep inside
him.”

“She looked around. There was a bulletin board covered with A papers. She looked from one paper to another and hoped, with all her heart, that she’d see one with Bradley’s name on it. She didn’t.”

“If a
monster says hello to you, you should say hello to it. If you
don’t, then I have to wonder which one of you is really the
monster.”
