#7. Its best to turn to no one, to seek to please no one, as if there were only oneself in the world.

Jenna Morasca

#23. When I went to Los Angeles right after high school, I got some acting jobs, and I never, ever wanted to be an actress! Public speaking and acting make me want to vomit.

John Hunter

#28. I doubt that I will ever forget those last two years of high school or the devastation that rained upon every person involved. One could say that, in a way, Dickie continued to bully me for many years even after his death. Dickie lost his life, and I lost my ability to control mine.
