“As a mental exercise I like to plan the murder of friends and colleges.”
Sherlock

Dave Pelzer
“Inside, my soul became so cold I hated everything. I even despised the sun, for I knew I would never be able to play in its warm presence. I cringed with hate whenever I heard other children laughing, as they played outside. My stomach coiled whenever I smelled food that was about to be served to somebody else, knowing it wasn't for me.”
Dave Pelzer, A Child Called "It"

Childhood should be carefree, playing in the sun; not living a nightmare in the darkness
“Childhood should be carefree, playing in the sun; not living a nightmare in the darkness of the soul.”
Dave Pelzer, A Child Called "It"

“Don't wait for a light to appear at the end of the tunnel, stride down there and light the bloody thing yourself.”
Sara Henderson

Dave Pelzer
“One could come from less than humble beginnings, to become a winner from within.”
