"As long as you're in the house, you can read as much as you like."

"The sun is shining, the sky is a deep blue, there's a lovely breeze, and I'm longing for everything. For a kiss, for a summer day, for a bicycle, for a new pair of shoes."

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

"It's difficult in times like these: ideals, dreams and cherished hopes rise within us, only to be crushed by grim reality."

"Everyone has a conscience, and everyone knows whether they're doing right or wrong."
