"Pooh!" he whispered.

“How we need that security. How we need another soul to cling to, another body to keep us warm. To rest and trust; to give your soul in confidence: I need this, I need someone to pour myself into.”
― Sylvia Plath, The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath

“It is more fun to talk with someone who doesn't use long, difficult words but rather short, easy words like "What about lunch?”

“I think probably kindness is my number one attribute in a human being. I'll put it before any of the things like courage or bravery or generosity or anything else.

Brian Sibley: Or brains even?

If you're kind that's it.”
― Roald Dahl
