― Dave Pelzer, A Child Called "It"

Childhood should be carefree, playing in the sun; not living a nightmare in the darkness
“Childhood should be carefree, playing in the sun; not living a nightmare in the darkness of the soul.”
― Dave Pelzer, A Child Called "It"

“As a mental exercise I like to plan the murder of friends and colleges.”
― Sherlock

“Don't wait for a light to appear at the end of the tunnel, stride down there and light the bloody thing yourself.”

Dave Pelzer
“Inside, my soul became so cold I hated everything. I even despised the sun, for I knew I would never be able to play in its warm presence. I cringed with hate whenever I heard other children laughing, as they played outside. My stomach coiled whenever I smelled food that was about to be served to somebody else, knowing it wasn't for me.”
― Dave Pelzer, A Child Called "It"
