"You loved me, I became beautiful." "Deception… that is what life is about. We deceive people into thinking we are humane, but who are we kidding? We are the monsters under our children’s beds; the monsters inside their closets, hanging on by a thread between our wild thoughts that are clouding our actions." "All I wanted was to be loved like Poe loved his Lee, Like William Shakespeare loved his poetry." "By that time, the sun had already set. It was dark and gloomy as I turned my bike around and had a lonely ride home. That was the last time I rode a bike."
