I lay in bed at night crying to myself. The only one who loved me and watched over me was someone I couldn't see or hear or touch.
I was brought up differently than the average American child because the average child is brought up expecting to be happy.
I wish I knew why I am so anguished.
(about her teen years) My admirers all said the same thing in different ways. It was my fault, their wanting to kiss and hug me.
In life, we weep at the thought of death. In death, perhaps we weep at the thought of life.
it is better to be happy alone than to be miserable with someone else

But I knew where she belonged; she belonged to the ocean and the sky and the whole world.
Gee, I never thought I had an effect on people until I was in Korea.
