"I am young and I have many qualities and I am not as bad as I am made out to be."

"I long to ride a bike, dance, whistle, look at the world, feel young and know that I'm free."

"Parents can only give good advice or put them on the right paths, but the final forming of a person's character lies in their own hands."

"I must be myself. I cannot be anyone else."

"I can shake off everything if I write; my sorrows disappear, my courage is reborn."
