„Zawsze piękniejszą odpowiedź dostanie, kto zada piękniejsze pytanie.”

„Być nikim, ale sobą, w świecie, który robi wszystko, co w jego mocy, dniami i nocami, by zrobić z ciebie przeciętniaka, oznacza walkę w najcięższej bitwie, w jakiej dane było walczyć ludzkości i która nigdy się nie skończy.”

„Potrzeba odwagi, aby dorosnąć i stać się tym, kim naprawdę jesteś.”

To be nobody – but – yourself – in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else – means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting. (ang.)

as small as a world and as large as alone.
Kontekst: milly befriended a stranded star
whose rays five languid fingers were;and molly was chased by a horrible thing

it's always ourselves we find in the sea
