Flawed, imperfect creatures! That's what we both are, oga! That's what we ALL are!

Though I knew I shouldn’t have cared, the words still hurt like pinches, and pinches can be very painful when done in the same place many times in a row.

It's ok to care about what other people think, but you should give a little more weight to what you, yourself, think...The habit of thinking is the habit of gaining strength. You're stronger than you believe.

We embrace those things that make us unique or odd. For only in these things can we locate and then develop our most individual abilities.

Prejudice begets prejudice, you see. Knowledge does not always evolve into wisdom.

Silence is the best answer to a fool.

There are more valuable things in life than safety and comfort. Learn. You owe it to yourself.

To be something abnormal meant that you were to serve the normal. And if you refused, they hated you... and often the normal hated you even when you did serve them.

We prefer to explore the universe by traveling inward, as opposed to outward.
