“All my life, I’ve felt like I belong somewhere that only exists in the depths of my mind. A place that is impossible for others to discover.”

“No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path.”

“It’s unfortunate, and I really wish I wouldn’t have to say this, but I really like human beings who have suffered. They’re kinder.”

“And once the storm is over, you won’t remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won’t even be sure, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm, you won’t be the same person who walked in. That’s what this storm’s all about.”
