“Being Soobie, always honest to himself, he was prepared to be no less than honest to God.
– I do not know who made the part of me that thinks. I do not know who I really am or what I really am. I am never satisfied to pretend. I cannot pretend that you are listening to me. I can only give you the benefit of the doubt. And it is a massive doubt, I can tell you. I do not know whether I believe in you, and, what is worse, you might not believe in me. But I need help and there is nowhere else to turn. The flesh-and-blood people who come here have something they called faith. Please, if you are listening to a rag doll with a blue face, let the faith of those others be enough for you to help me. I must find my sister, or my mother will be the first of us to die. Dear God, I don’t even know what that means!”
Sylvia Waugh, The Mennyms

Madeleine L'Engle
“Thinking I'm a moron gives people something to feel smug about," Charles Wallace said. "Why should I disillusion them?”
Madeleine L'Engle, A Wrinkle in Time

Augusten Burroughs
“Doctor, if being a bitch is healthy, then I am the healthiest damn woman on the face of the earth”
Augusten Burroughs, Running with Scissors

Madeleine L'Engle
“If you aren't unhappy sometimes you don't know how to be happy.”
Madeleine L'Engle, A Wrinkle in Time

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
“One only understands the things that one tames,” said the fox. “Men have
no more time to understand anything. They buy things all ready made at the
shops. But there is no shop anywhere where one can buy friendship, and so
men have no friends any more. If you want a friend, tame me. . .”
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince
